- **Event Name**: J.P. Cormier LIVE @ Motel Chelsea!
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 25 Jan, 2026 at 04:30 pm
- **Event Description**: J.P. (John Paul) Cormier (born January 23, 1969) is a Canadian bluegrass/folk/Celtic singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. He has won thirteen East Coast Music Awards and one Canadian Folk Music Award. Cormier was born in London, Ontario, and began playing guitar around age five. As a child, he displayed an unusual ability to play various instruments by ear and won a guitar contest at age nine. Appearances on Up Home Tonight, a television show devoted to bluegrass music, followed at age fourteen.

In the mid-nineties, he entered the musical scene of his beloved East Coast and the Island called Cape Breton. He exploded onto the trad music scene there as a fiddler, performing some of the most challenging music ever produced by legends like Winston Fitzgerald and Angus Chisholm with a facility that stunned onlookers. Especially those who knew he wasn't born there but in Ontario to Cape Breton parents. Somehow, some way, his music was the real thing, sounding like he had been steeped continually in a handed-down brew of family tradition from the old country.

In 2020 he released  'Now that the Work is Done', followed by 'Us', in 2021. His latest album is '50 Years of Guitar'. 

J.P. has an active YouTube channel where he connects with fans. Every week he posts new episodes of Life In Music, Guitar Stuff With John, and the Wednesday night live broadcast of String Theory, an interactive question-and-answer show. People still leave his shows confused, amazed, and wondering what they just saw. Did they see a storyteller? A Songwriter? Arguably one of the best guitar players in the business today? Someone who crosses the lines between different instruments like there are no lines? Of all the things he is, foremost he is an entertainer.

J.P. (John Paul) Cormier (né le 23 janvier 1969) est un auteur-compositeur-interprète et multi-instrumentiste canadien de bluegrass, folk et musique celtique. Il a remporté treize East Coast Music Awards et un Canadian Folk Music Award. Né à London, en Ontario, Cormier a commencé à jouer de la guitare vers l'âge de cinq ans. Enfant, il a démontré une capacité inhabituelle à jouer de divers instruments à l'oreille et a remporté un concours de guitare à l'âge de neuf ans. À quatorze ans, il a fait plusieurs apparitions dans Up Home Tonight, une émission de télévision consacrée à la musique bluegrass.

Au milieu des années 90, il a fait son entrée sur la scène musicale de sa côte Est bien-aimée et de l'île appelée Cap-Breton. Il a fait une entrée fracassante sur la scène musicale traditionnelle en tant que violoniste, interprétant certaines des musiques les plus difficiles jamais produites par des légendes telles que Winston Fitzgerald et Angus Chisholm avec une aisance qui a stupéfié les spectateurs. Surtout ceux qui savaient qu'il n'était pas né là-bas, mais en Ontario, de parents originaires du Cap-Breton. D'une manière ou d'une autre, sa musique était authentique, comme s'il avait été imprégné depuis toujours d'une tradition familiale transmise de génération en génération depuis son pays d'origine.

En 2020, il a sorti « Now that the Work is Done », suivi de « Us » en 2021. Son dernier album s'intitule « 50 Years of Guitar ».

J.P. possède une chaîne YouTube très active où il communique avec ses fans. Chaque semaine, il publie de nouveaux épisodes de Life In Music, Guitar Stuff With John, ainsi que l'émission interactive String Theory, diffusée en direct le mercredi soir, sous forme de questions-réponses. Les spectateurs quittent toujours ses spectacles perplexes, émerveillés et se demandant ce qu'ils viennent de voir. Ont-ils vu un conteur ? Un auteur-compositeur ? Sans doute l'un des meilleurs guitaristes du moment ? Quelqu'un qui franchit les frontières entre les différents instruments comme s'il n'y en avait pas ? Parmi toutes ses qualités, il est avant tout un artiste.
