Joel van Vliet

Joel van Vliet (see name above) of http://www.joelvanvliet.com/ fame is a songwriter, recording artist, singer, comedian, novelist, performer, actor, screenwriter, producer, humourist (see comedian), religionist, philosopher and narcissist. He's a simple man…
He most recently has released an album called "autumn, winter, spring, summer" which is available on iTunes: http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/autumn-winter-spring-summer/id402470593. He uses the four seasons as a canvas to paint a picture of the death of one relationship and the birth of another. Each song is its own beautiful moment, independent of the album, but still ties together with the other songs.
When Joel isn't writing soothing, melancholy songs, he arms himself with a Fender Telecaster and contributes to the thunder of his rock n roll band. He released an EP of six quick, tight and monstrous tracks called "Inspired" Stereo a Green Dynamo EP. Although they're just a trio, Joel van Vliet, Steve Convery and Frank DiTillio sound like an army charging at you in tuxedos with hot chocolate and biscotti.
When you see Joel van Vliet live, he will be backed by his dynamic duo rhythm section and they will be performing an eclectic array of upbeat rock n roll songs as well as a few sweet love songs that would make the most romantically inept people swoon. (Not something to be missed).
He's written the music for a ghost story/musical film being produced in L.A. (which he calls the Big LApple). Check out the website http://thedeadinside.com/! He won Best Score Award at the Los Angeles United Film Festival 2011 for the film!
He was the finalist on an online reality show based out of LA called "On the Spot". On the last day he decided being part of the group legendary manager Johnny Wright was putting together just wasn't for him. He came back to Niagara and is currently writing and preparing for his 4th full length studio album.
