Joseph Arthur

March 8, 2025

If anyone is truly deserving of the title of ‘artist’ it’s the mercurial talent that is Joseph Arthur. Discovered by Peter Gabriel in the mid-’90s and signed to Gabriel’s Real World label in 1996. Arthur’s first album Big City Secrets was released in 1997 to critical acclaim. He’s been unleashing material for over two decades, his sheer poetic nature and experimental drive gaining him a deservedly fine reputation in the process.

Arthur is a tireless performer – both as solo artist and as a member of Fistful of Mercy with Dhani Harrison and Ben Harper and RNDM with Pearl Jam’s Jeff Ament. Joseph and Peter Buck of R.E.M. released their debut album Arthur Buck in 2018 to universal acclaim. His latest album “Come Back World” features guest appearances by Ben Harper, The Black Keys’ Patrick Carney, Jesse Malin and Greg Dulli and Joseph calls it “an album about rebirth and survival.”
