Joe Passion
Recording Artist - Tribute Artist


BIOGRAPHY:


Joe Passion was born and raised in Toronto, Canada and has toured extensively through-out North America, Australia, the Caribbean and Europe.

Joe has been performing as a Legend Impersonator since 1996 in the roles of  Jerry Lee Lewis, John Lennon and most recently Barry Manilow.  This was not new to Joe, he has been a professional full time musician  since the age of 19.  His main instruments are piano and guitar.

Joe's portrayal of "The Killer" combines the energy and excitement of the young Jerry Lee Lewis with the humour and bravado of Dennis Quaid, star of the film "Great Balls Of Fire."  (Complete with the flaming piano.)

For Lennon, Joe recreates the Icon by performing songs from the Beatle Catalog as well as Johns' solo years.

The Barry Manilow character is the newest on Joes' impersonation roster.  He performs all the favorites from "Copacobana" and "Mandy" to "I Write The Songs."
