Joe Lapinski + Band w/ special guest Geordie Gordon
Joe Lapinski and his band return to the Niagara Artists Centre, with an intimate performance under the stars on the TCO Rooftop Terrace. When asked how he’s feeling about performing on a rooftop under the stars, Joe replied “wait, what? We’re performing on a rooftop under the stars? Wow. Cool. That should be pretty neat.”.
Joe and his band plan on performing many songs from his latest release “New Day”, as well as some never-before-performed songs from his back catalogue. It is bound to be a beauty night.
To top it all off, the wonderfully talented Geordie Gordon (Toronto, via Guelph) will be opening the show. He is an exceptional talent that needs to be witnessed and felt. Trust us.
JOE LAPINSKI
Joe Lapinski crafts cinematic indie folk rock shaped by rich storytelling and golden-hour atmosphere. Expect an array of intricate finger-picking guitar, lush harmonies, and engaging melodies that tense and release in the way our own emotions do. His 2025 album New Day, co-produced with Dave Clark (Rheostatics, Gord Downie’s Country Of Miracles), blends emotional vulnerability with bold sonic exploration, showcasing the depth and versatility of his songwriting. With a live show that can shift fluidly from intimate, emotionally rich solo performances, to a full six-piece band featuring choral-pop vocalists from Minuscule and a powerful, cohesive rhythm section, he is a compelling addition to any festival lineup.
