So I got a free, last-minute invite to tonight's sold out JP Hoe Holiday show at the Park Theatre, and it sure was a lot of fun. Crazy Christmas costumes were worn; cookies were given away; oh, and music was played.
The talented singer-songwriter was joined on stage by Fred Penner (who read a holiday story to the crowd) and by local rockers Quinzy. A few members of the WSO were along for the ride as well.
But the star of the show was definitely the man himself. It was my first time hearing the JP's rock-tinged folk music, and live it proved to be soul-stirring and charming. JP himself was a confident, funny, and clearly passionate performer, and if I had cash, I would've picked up his disc. Next time for sure.
Blog Poll Results tomorrow!

Fred Penner!?!?!! That's awesome! I wanna see the intro to his tv show again. That hollowed out log bridge thing was so awesome! Wait that was him, right?

If you do pick up an album, you should get The Live Beta Project, not the Dear John Letters. Both are good, his first one is better.
