GREENWOOD is a Quebec province based high octane Blues/Rock band started by guitarist brothers Joé (pronounced Joey, born December 12th, 1979) and Kim Boisvert (born August 30th, 1987). Their debut album "GREEN MONEY" was released on May 25th 2010, with Sebeno (short for Sébastien Hénault-Blanchard) on bass, and Luc Jr Bélisle on drums. It's after an eye-opening week long camping trip in Bonaventure - QC, where the brothers had to fill in during 3 hours for a band that had cancelled at the last minute, that they decided to put a band together in November 2005.

Biography
Early years

Music had always been ubiquitous in Joé & Kim's lives, mostly because of their parents. At very young age, they would already drag their children to concerts of Jeff Healey, Bernard Allison, Jordan Cook, Coco Montoya and Steve Hill, to name a few. Strangely enough, the brothers did not show any interest towards music before their middle teen years. Eight years apart, both brothers attended to Séminaire Salésien highschool in Sherbrooke, Qc where the only instrument was classical guitar. They showed common interest and ease but their passion did not fire up until later.

Brotherly love

Being nearly 8 years older, Joé was a huge influence on his little brother. They would spend most of their time together, either playing Super Nintendo, Dungeon & Dragons, dressing up as warriors and fighting in the forest, etc. It was thus only natural for Kim to pick up the guitar sooner or later, following the steps of his first Hero.

Band members
JOÉ GREENWOOD - It’s at age 16, while attending a Steve Hill concert, that Joé gets blues fever for the first time. On that day, he began playing guitar and singing without ever putting it down. Eight years later, he starts playing slide guitar, while listening to the songs of Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters, and of course, Steve Hill.

KIM GREENWOOD - At 12 years old, Kim begins attending classical guitar lessons, which he practices with moderation… However, soon after his 14th birthday he gets an electric guitar and this time, he never let go of it. Following the steps of Stevie Ray Vaughan, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, the amazing Philip Sayce, and the inevitable blues pioneers, Kim quickly includes his influences in his heartfelt playing.

LUC JR BÉLISLE - Son of musicians, at age 4 he already hits the drums under the tutelage of his father (a drummer himself). Over twenty years later, his expertise is a jaw-dropper for everyone but him, who will of course always find something to improve ! He joins Greenwood in late 2006 and brings to the band an outstanding energy.

SEBENO - Road built musician who has played on three continents, including cities from New York to Toronto, and from Vancouver to Montreal. While working on many a project -may it be as filler or artist- Sébastien Hénault Blanchard finished a Master’s Degree in music. Now after over 15 years of scene experience, he joins among the ranks of Greenwood where he can now clear his head and play with contagious fun !
