Joe Grass has dedicated most of his (relatively short) life to exploring sounds and songs. Since moving to Montréal from Moncton, he has become one of the city’s most sought-after musical partners. He has performed with Lhasa, the Barr Brothers, and Klaus, his own avant-pop band. He co-produced Elisapie’s Polaris and Juno Award-winning album, The Ballad of the Runaway Girl, and produced her latest album, Inuktitut. He also co-wrote and co-arranged Patrick Watson’s Love Songs for Robots and Wave.

The live show Joe Grass brings to the NAC is an exploration of song and form in which the audience becomes a fourth member of the band. The musicians dynamically engage with the audience, taking you on journeys, casting spells, and telling stories rooted in the present while projecting the voices of many rich traditions into the future. The genre-defying trio—Joe Grass on guitar, Morgan Moore on bass, and Robbie Kuster on drums—adapts to the moment. The group is currently performing songs from Joe’s latest album, Falcon’s Heart.
