by Michael Poitras

I am The Invitation, a folk artist, songwriter, bass and guitar player. Also a painter, from Ontario.

I was born just before the ’97 ice storm and heard Christmas singing before I was 24-hours old. This started my love of music. Later I discovered The Band, Neil Young and the sounds of Canadian and Francophone folk from the 60’s to the 80’s. 

I hope I can bring back some of the sounds, feelings and nostalgia of classic folk stars like Levon Helm, Robert Charlebois and Bob Dylan through my songs and story.
