About Tony Poirier

Tony Poirier is a 30 year veteran from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Singer/songwriter, and considered one of the top ten Pub acts/One man Bands in Western Canada.
Recording from his own basement studio, Tony creates his own back-up bands to use on stage to fill the room with energy. From as old as Buddy Holly to as recent as Nickleback, Tony plays a wide variety of rock, classic rock, country, pop, metal, and yes, even old Irish drinking songs.
Tony did his first professional recording at age 14, when he recorded his original 14 minute song "The Ring" based on the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Other original recordings have seen radio airplay in both Canada and New Zealand. Notably, the songs "Land of Shadow", "Knife in the Dark" and "Alexis."
Surprisingly, Tony Poirier has never been signed to a recording contract nor has been picked up by a major label. Given his talent both on and off stage, his peers and fans have found this fact rather shocking. But Edmonton, Alberta is a rather limited city from which to springboard into mainstream music.
Born and raised in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada Nov. 6, 1964. Tony first began playing guitar at age 8, and started writing his own music by age 11. At age 14, he formed his first band "Missing Link" which played at schools throughout the Edmonton region. Impressed with his writing skills, he was sponsored to record his music at Homestead music studios in 1980. Produced by Larry Wanagas (link) He recorded 4 songs. "Death." "Hey Mon." "I'll Be Gone" and his 14 minute original classic "The Ring." Although impressed, Ted Kennedy at K-97 did not pick up his contract. A few years later, in 1986, Tony was asked to record 7 more original songs for K-lite radio for a segment called "Up and coming" which featured such songs as "I'll Be Gone." "Never were my Friend." "Fly Away." and "Friends." 3 other songs "Knife in the Dark." "Land of Shadow" and "Alexis." recieved additional radio airplay in New Zealand (Pegasus Productions) in 1989.
