Joe Kitson is no stranger to the bright lights of the mainstage, having performed in some of Prince Edward Islands biggest bands (Rock Island Blues Band, Black Cat Bone (band), Poppa Shine, Jive Kings and Big City, to name a few) as well as being a Juno Award nominee & a three-time ECMA award winner for his tenure in Rawlins Cross.
Mr.Kitson has recently been heard with Canadian piano phenom Doug Riley (Bob Seger, Ray Charles, Ringo Starr, Gordon Lightfoot).
