Joël Fafard performs Southern roots-and-blues classics with the soul of a purist and the fine showmanship of a seasoned entertainer. He sings with the sexy, ‘sandpaper­ed’ vocal style of the new generation bluesman. He tells his between-song stories with the confidence of a late show host delivering his monologue. And when he lets rip a solo on his resonator guitar, it’s easy to hear how he has earned both a Juno nomination and a Western Canadian Music Award for his skills. With his latest albums, along with his live show, Joël is breathing new life into grand old numbers.

His performances are as authentic as those of a Beale Street busker but infused with a touch of contemporary urban attitude.
