Justin Lacroix, March 7, Doors at 7:30, $10

A francophone born and raised in Winnipeg, Justin Lacroix is a singer songwriter who passionately and wholeheartedly shares his music. The music inside Justin has been nurtured from a young age — first through violin lessons, and later through guitar lessons. His true expression, however, came alive through singing, and more recently, singing his own words. Strongly influenced by blues and jazz, and inspired by many different rhythms and sounds, Justin explores the universe he can create within a song and invites all who are willing to come along for the ride.

To play music the way it comes to you is how music should be made. This statement embodies the Justin Lacroix Band’s approach. Whether the style is folk, rock or funk, the band creates meaningful arrangements to offer heartfelt songwriting as a craft and labour of love. Highlighted by a tight-knit rhythm section, imaginative guitar riffs and sweet 3-part vocal seduction, the live show is authentic and uplifting.
