The words "Joseph Arthur" should be a household name. Just ask Peter Gabriel, who launched his own Real World Records with the release of Joseph Arthur's debut CD; or Michael Stipe of R.E.M. who recently used one of Joseph's songs as the only track on a Katrina Fund Charity EP, re-recording the track 5 times with different friends including Coldplay, Justin Timberlake, and Joseph himself. Stipe also named his In the Sun Foundation after the track. "When I saw what happened with Katrina, 'In the Sun' came to mind," explains Stipe. "He writes from a very deep intuitive place."
While Arthur's records tend to be layered, heavily produced efforts, his one-man band live performances incorporate looping techniques and several distortion techniques. Many people comment that his live performances, when performed in this fashion, are in fact better than his studio recorded material. In 2006, Arthur brings a band into his live show which takes things to a different level. Regardless of whether Joseph performs solo or with a band, the same effect is apparent. Merging catchy melodies with deep introspecitve lyrics, he somehow seems to strip your soul naked, silencing the audience with jaws wide open. Joseph's music has the rare ability to do this to an audience, something that very few musicians can accomplish. Another reason why Arthur is a force to be reckoned with.

We are very excited to have been approached by Arthur's Management to build a new web site for him, and even more pleased to be making complete shows, past, present and future, available for download at JosephArthur.com/downloads.
