Joe Cook is a Cape Breton singer/songwriter who loves telling stories of a life well-lived on the East Coast. Growing up in a small fishing village, Joe took his turn on the lobster boats then set out to see what the world had to offer. But the sea always calls you back. Now settled on a hill next to the Bras d’Or with a view of sunsets over Kelly’s Mountain, Joe’s songs tell old stories with a modern point of view. Influenced by East Coast greats like Great Big Sea, Lenny Gallant, and Stan Rogers, these songs have been flavoured from a young age by east coast life. Other great Canadian songwriters like Gord Downie, Bruce Cockburn, and the guys from The Band also help shape the sounds and stories found in Joe’s writing.
