A strikingly original artist, singer/multi-instrumentalist Joel Kroeker debuts on True North Records with his album “Melodrama.” Joel’s album indicates a comprehensive understanding and deep passion for alternative folk, rock, and jazz genres, particularly on such notable tracks as the first single “Endings,” as well as “The Wind,” “Paradise,” and the radiantly melodic "Goodbye Jane.” The songs derive much of their emotional power by combining personal and political insights while balancing the needs of commerciality and conscience with a rare delicacy.
