About Joe Crookston:

From touring with Gordon Lightfoot, headlining major US festivals, receiving Folk Alliance International “Album of the Year,” releasing NINE BECOMES ONE (2023) to being named Folk Alliance International Artist-in-Resident, Joe is on fire. He’s played with Suzanne Vega, Dar Williams, David Francey, John McCutcheon, John Gorka, Judy Collins, and hundreds more. His songs are being made into award-winning films. 

He’s artful, intense, and often transcendent, imaginative, and extremely engaging. If you love a moving song and magical madness, Joe delivers it all: the music, the lyrics, the energy, and the passion for exceptionally well-written songs. Joe Crookston loves his audience, and it shows. Songwriter, guitarist, painter, fiddler, and slide player. Joe Crookston has shared festival stages with the likes of Livingston Taylor, The Subdudes, John McCutcheon, Arlo Guthrie, Tim Reynolds, John Gorka, and many others.

Victory Music Review says: "Joe's songs are powerful, simple, distilled lyrical paintings weaving together cycles of life and decay, cycles of joy and pain, and eventually they thread the needle through all of us..." The Seattle Folklore Society adds "I've watched audiences glued to their seats at the end of Joe's shows simply not wanting the evening to end. There is a spirit in his music that is simultaneously sacred, celebratory, artful, and solidly grounded in tradition....Go see this man perform, and don't be surprised if you drive home singing his songs with a renewed sense of what's possible."
