Joseph Edgar, originaire de Moncton, est l’un des fers de lance de la nouvelle scène musicale acadienne. Son univers, souvent qualifié d’urbain acoustique, mais que lui même qualifie comme rock folk, se nourrit de multiples influences.
Artiste passionné qui occupe la scène avec une intensité peu commune, il lance un EP à l'automne 2011, et en début 2012 sortira son quatrième album depuis 2004.

Originally from Moncton, Joseph Edgar is at the forefront of the changing tides in the Acadian musical scene. More rock than folk, more alternative than pop, his sound carries hints of multiple influences. On stage, his intensity is truly unique. Having just released an EP in the Fall 2011, his fourth album will be released sometime in the first half of 2012.

RELIX MAGAZINE REVIEW- “Chris Colepaugh is all about the melody. That’s not to say that this son of Southern blues doesn’t rock. Just listen to what happens when he unleashes his doubleneck Gibson on tunes such as “Some Things Never Change” on his latest album Missed a Page. Guitar riffs don’t get much thicker than this. But Colepaugh is more of the school of Stephen Stills restraint than Lynyrd Skynyrd abandon. Listen to how he holds back the instrumentation—just enough—on “Some Time Away.” The effects are enticing vocals that float on top of the musical stream, underscoring the strong yet dreamy message. As if that’s not enough variety, Colepaugh mixes it up a bit, adding steel guitar and slow burning percussion to the blues anthem “What You Need.” 

Blending equal parts southern-inspired rock with a heavy dose of the blues, Chris Colepaugh and the Cosmic Crew have rightfully earned a reputation for crowd-pleasing, hard-driving rock. The multiple award-winning group, fronted by guitar virtuoso Chris Colepaugh, has spent more than two decades actively touring Canada and the United States, supporting acts including Gov't Mule, The North Mississippi All Stars and Big Sugar. The group's latest effort, RnR, pays homage to the stripped down rock and roll of years past, but with modern touches. Chris Colepaugh is proudly endorsed by Gibson Guitars, Traynor Amplifiers and Sennheiser Microphones.
