Backing up the Barenaked Ladies tonight at Conexus Arts Centre is Joel Plaskett. Out of Halifax, Plaskett is a true treasure on the Canadian music scene. A founding member of Thrush Hermit in the early ’90s (a band who’ve reunited, by the way, and who were recently featured on the cover of the Now in Toronto), Plaskett has also made his mark as a solo artist, releasing a number of acclaimed discs and building a loyal fan base with his humorously poignant and personal bordering on confessional songs.
