Joel Plaskett Emergency
special performance of Down at the Khyber
with special guest Carmen Townsend
From rocking Halifax’s Marquee Club with The Emergency, to performing for the masses at Massey Hall or touring the country with his father, Joel Plaskett has forged a reputation as one of Canada’s most engaging performers and respected singer-songwriters.
For this special show in Inverness on August 12th, the original Joel Plaskett Emergency lineup of Joel (guitar), Dave Marsh (drums) and Inverness’s own, Tim Brennan (bass) reunite to revisit their 2001 album Down at the Khyber in it’s entirety.
Recorded in 2000 on the top floor of Halifax’s historic “Khyber Building”, the album launched the band onto the national stage, garnering a Juno nomination and critical acclaim in the UK press and beyond.
