Band - Joseph Arthur

Make no mistake, Joseph Arthur is not some dime-a-dozen singer-songwriter, plucking an acoustic guitar and bemoaning the state of his love life. The man is an artist in the truest sense of the word — a sculptor of soundscapes constantly pushing his craft, a poet of stunning wordplay prowess, a painter whose works have aesthetic merit and aren’t just a musician’s self-indulgent moonlighting — a Captain Beefheart of the digital age, in spirit if not in audible homage.
