"I defy anyone to see JP Hoe in concert and not become an immediate and steadfast fan. He is the real deal - talented, charming, charismatic - he writes songs that stick in your head as much for the enduring melodies as for his thoughtful lyrics - from witty pop songs to achingly evocative ballads - JP just never disappoints." - Heather Moore, Producer, National Arts Centre Prairie Scene

Who is JP Hoe? Ask the 2.500 people who after seeing him open for Jann Arden on her Uncover Me Tour, rushed the merch booth to buy his EP, The Live Beta Project. Ask the hundreds of Winnipeggers who turn out for his tongue and cheek theme gigs, like the perennially sold out JP HOE HOE HOE Holiday Show.

Music legend Seymour Stein thinks JP would be huge in Southeast Asia, and was bang on the money when JP played 2 festivals in Australia last October. A Western Canadian Music Awards jury thought his full-length debut, The Dear John Letters, was one of the top pop recordings and songwriting efforts of 2008. This is a songwriter who gets people talking.

They talk, for instance, about his sound. It’s hard to pin down. The melodies are always fluid, the lyrics clear-eyed. And of course, there’s always JP’s voice, a classic instrument that rasps with weight beyond his years. The beginning of 2012 will see JP release his fifth effort ‘Mannequin’, “tight, focused & confident” are the words JP uses to describe the album completed this past September.
