Since his return to Canada over decade ago, Cormier has released eleven award winning recordings (12 & 13 on the way). The foundation for his highly anticipated fourth song collection has already been laid, and is slated for release in early 2008.

Fans of the writing traditions of Stan Rogers and Gordon Lightfoot tend to equate the name J.P. Cormier with "songwriter", even before multi-instrumentalist. As a performer, J.P. is known for his flawless delivery of original 'story songs', most often basing his lyrics on true events. Inspiration comes when he least expects it and, in his words, "I just hold the pen." The title track from J.P.’s Juno nominated Another Morning, among others, has been covered by countless artists across North America and overseas.

J.P.’s impressive body of work has earned him a vast and loyal fan base, and multiple award nominations and wins, including, 12 East Coast Music Awards, Canadian Folk Music Award, 5 Music Nova Scotia Awards, Juno nomination, Commendations from the Govenor General of Canada and Premier of Nova Scotia.

J.P. Cormier brings his dazzling compositions and finger-work to the stage 250 nights a year in theatres, at festivals, and with symphonies as guest performer. He is accompanied by Hilda Chiasson-Cormier on piano and harmony vocals, and multi-instrumentalist Darren McMullen. No matter the combination, J.P.’s performances are simply electrifying.
