John Cormier

Event Description

The Rogue Folk Club presents J.P. Cormier! Cormier is a Canadian bluegrass/folk/Celtic singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. In the mid-nineties, he reentered the musical scene of his beloved East Coast and the Island called Cape Breton. He exploded onto the trad music scene there as a fiddler, performing some of the most challenging music ever produced by legends like Winston Fitzgerald and Angus Chisholm with a facility that stunned onlookers. Especially those who knew he wasn't born there but in Ontario to Cape Breton parents. Somehow, some way, his music was the real thing, sounding like he had been steeped continually in a handed-down brew of family tradition from the old country.
