Joe Poirier

Welcome to my soundclick web page. Hope you find it very informative. Keeping busy anyway possible. Hope to record new material this year. Always writing. Please keep visiting this page for updates which I will do often when new developments arise. Later, Joe. March 15th Hey, added some songs to the site with more to follow. Grossman's was a success with a new date added. Later, Joe May 30th Don't have many shows on my own but am playing with lots of other groups. Can now use the live dates link for new shows but use the news section to see who I am playing with. Doing lots of writing, but don't know when I will hit the studio. That's show business. Later, Joe.

I do play live engagements under my own name but, I do freelance for other bands. I play with the funk/rock band Joyslam and the Doors tribute Strange Days. I do play other instruments such as bass and violin which has given me the chance to play in a variety of settings across North America.

My Dad was my first musical influence letting me try whatever instrument I could get my hands on. When I really got into guitar it was SRV, Hendrix and Clapton. Jazz studies at university introduced me to Wes, Coltrane and Miles. After school I learned to appreciate more of just about anything from the Beatles to ZZ Top.

Until I get my big endorsement deal (this is being said with sarcasm), here is some of the things I use. Electric Strings - .012 to .056 Acoustic Strings - Light Gauge Picks - 2 mm for electric guitar .96 mm for acoustic guitars Thick glass slides worn on my middle finger.
