Folk singer-songwriter Joe Charron performs an afternoon show at the Duncan Showroom on May 24.

Tickets are $12 in advance at http://www.showroomproductions.ca/buy-tickets and $15 at the door.

Music writer Rick Dennis once described Joe as having "a novelist's eye for detail and the soul of a honky-tonk poet." He has recorded four albums (two with The Laws) and produced a music talk show for Shaw Cable called "Canadian Songsmith" that featured interviews with Canada's touring singer/songwriters. His song "Providence Ferry" has been recorded by five different artists, most recently by Montana Blackfeet troubador Jack Gladstone whose album won a Native American Music award. Joe says, "I treat songwriting like art. I love Tom Waits' comment, 'Vocabulary is my instrument.' I really like the way writers like Waits and Guy Clarke use language. I have always been taken by Cormac McCarthy and Annie Proulx for that reason and recently I have been reading some essays by Robert James Waller (Bridges of Madison County). Those folks are all amazing. You can smell their language and you can taste it. You can feel it in your gut. Thats how I try to write songs.
