Joe Grass

Joe Grass has dedicated most of his (relatively short) life to exploring sounds and songs. Since leaving Moncton to settle in Montreal, he has become one of the most sought-after musical collaborators in the city. He has worked with artists such as Lhasa, The Barr Brothers, and Klaus, his own avant-pop group. He also co-produced Elisapie’s album The Ballad of the Runaway Girl, which won both Polaris and Juno awards, and produced her new album, Inuktitut. Additionally, he contributed to the writing and arrangements of Patrick Watson’s Love Songs for Robots and Wave.

Joe Grass’ live performance is an exploration of songs and forms, where the audience becomes the fourth member of the band. The musicians engage dynamically with the space, taking you on a journey, casting spells, and telling stories grounded in the present while projecting the voices of many rich traditions into the future. Defying genres, the trio—featuring guitar (Joe Grass), bass (Morgan Moore), and drums (Robbie Kuster)—adapts to the moment. They are currently performing songs from Joe’s latest album, Falcon’s Heart.
