Singer/songwriter Joseph Arthur was discovered by Peter
Gabriel in the mid-'90s and soon signed to the artist's
Real World label. Arthur's debut, Big City Secrets, was
then released in 1997 and went practically unnoticed. Not
discouraged by industry politics, the native of Akron, OH,
continued to make music and dove into his Earth-inspired
abstract art. His eclectic brooding is similar to the
likes of Leonard Cohen, Joe Henry, and the late Jeff
Buckley, and his time spent with Gabriel exposed his
musical styles to a global palette. Arthur participated in
Gabriel's annual WOMAD shows and spent the latter part of
the '90s on the road with residency tours in the Northeast
and Northwest, which included opening dates for labelmates
Ben Harper and Gomez.
In 1999, Arthur released the seven-song EP Vacancy and
received a Grammy nomination for Best Recording Package,
thanks to his design with co-art director Zachary Larner.
Following brief critical acclaim, Arthur released his
sophomore effort, Come to Where I'm From, one year later
on Virgin Records. The album showed Arthur's musical
fondness for basic country-rock and Americana, and he
spent the rest of 2000 headlining club shows across North
America and serving as an opening act for The The. Two
years later, Arthur issued the four-EP series Junkyard
Hearts, a precursor to his third opus, Redemption's Son.
North American dates with Tracy Chapman followed in summer
2003, then one year later the critically acclaimed Our
Shadows Will Remain appeared.
After starting his own label, Lonely Astronaut
(distributed by Sony), Arthur published a collection of
his artwork entitled We Almost Made It, complete with a
mostly instrumental accompaniment, The Invisible Parade,
in the spring of 2006. A few months later, fans were
greeted with his fifth record, Nuclear Daydream, as well
as a tour that featured Arthur with a full live band,
something he had never done before. Arthur also provided
vocals on "Sublime," from the Twilight Singers' iTunes-
only five-song EP A Stitch in Time. In April 2007, he
partnered with his band once again to record Let's Just
Be, his second album with his own label. The following
year brought even more material, with Arthur releasing no
less than four EPs during the first seven months of the
year (Could We Survive, Crazy Rain, Vagabond Skies,
Foreign Girls) and a full album, Temporary People, in
September.
