Joe Crookston

LAFTA favorite Joe Crookston is a songwriter, singer, guitarist, painter, fiddler, banjo player, eco-village member and believer in all things possible. He lives in Ithaca, N.Y., and tours regularly in the U.S., Ireland and Canada. In his songs he plumbs for lyrical gold, like a social archeologist. His story songs are universal, his rhythm infectious, and in concert he is funny one moment and transcendent the next. Whether he’s picking his ’48 Gibson, weaving through lap-steel slide tunes or looping his fiddle, he will draw you in.
