Acrpost: A Project of the Pacific Association of Artist Run Centres

Event Description

Martyn Joseph is a powerful singer and songwriter gifted with the rare ability to speak to the soul with his expressive and poignant lyrics.

With a discography of 37 albums spanning 1983 to the present, over a half a million record sales and thousands of live performances, the versatility of his music touches genres of folk, rock, soul, folk funk and Americana, yet somehow all these labels cannot define the spirit of his music.

Over his four decade career, Martyn Joseph has previously toured with Art Garfunkel, Jools Holland, Ani DiFranco, Suzanne Vega, Mike and The Mechanics, Joan Armatrading, Celine Dion and Shirley Bassey. He is hailed as a raconteur weaving tales on topical concerns, as well as stories on the fragility of love, with a magical ability to reach out to his listeners through his passion and humour.

Martyn Joseph’s latest album released last November, “1960” is a ‘coming of age’ record, but not as we’re familiar with the phrase. The age is sixty, which Joseph arrived at last year, just as the world went into lockdown. He’ll be sharing songs from this latest recording.
