Biography

Joel Plaskett is a singer-songwriter from Halifax, Nova Scotia whose music and lyrics have a distinctly Canadian flavor.

Joel was a member of the legendary Canadian East Coast band, Thrush Hermit. Formed in 1992, they first came to major attention at the same time as other Halifax acts like Sloan, The Super Friendz, and Eric's Trip.

Thrush Hermit called it quits in 1999. Plaskett then went on to form The Joel Plaskett Emergency, who released the albums "In Need of Medical Attention", "Down at the Khyber" and "Truthfully, Truthfully".

Plaskett continues to live in Halifax, ignoring the bright lights of Toronto.
