Canadian award-winning singer-songwriter JP Hoe is excited to announce a UK tour this September, where he will be showcasing songs from his forthcoming album Mannequin, not yet released in the UK. Mannequin is a beautifully crafted album featuring a collection of emotional songs, combined with a dark and melancholic edge that weaves its way throughout.

Think "tongue-in-cheek torch songs" and you have one place of departure with this Winnipeg based singer songwriter. JP Hoe writes tirelessly in all styles, charming audiences with his sharp lyrics, a smooth voice and a casual demeanor. Humour, simple phrases, and bold ideas are all part of his trade.

The six time Western Canadian Music Award nominated artist has a tremendous gift for writing songs would sound as good stripped down around a campfire as they would in a soft-seat theatre with a full orchestra.
