Biography
Nick Earle and Joe Coffin are young musicians from St. John’s, NL, who are setting the blues world on fire with their brilliant guitar playing and soulful vocals, rapidly making their mark on the music world. In the last few years, they recorded their debut album, Live at the Citadel House (2016), their first studio recording, Wood Wire Blood & Bone (2017), and an acoustic EP, A Day in July (2017). Shortly thereafter, they earned some hardware to go on the shelf next to those recordings, winning the 2016 Canadian Folk Music Award for Young Performers of the Year and the 2017 Music NL Award for Blues/Jazz Artist of the Year. Not bad for a couple of guys who recently finished high school. Nick and Joe are showing no signs of resting and are playing at festivals and showcases throughout Canada and the US. Recently, they were featured at the prestigious Folk Alliance International Conference in Kansas City, MO. Nick and Joe are making their first Festival appearance in 2018. Catch them while you can!
