Acoustic artist Martyn Joseph? Not just what it says on the tin.

Another guitar laden singer songwriter he may be, but in these transient times where musicians have a seemingly inevitable disposability, the longevity of Martyn’s thirty year career suggests he has something special to offer. And on this tour? He most definitely does. For the first time in fifteen years, the “Under Lemonade Skies” UK  tour will see Martyn Joseph joined onstage by a live band.

Tha Martyn Joseph Band Tour is something far removed from an average Martyn Joseph show. On returning from his recent tour of Canada, Martyn has announced that he is thrilled to be touring with such talented musicians; something he feels will offer his legions of fans  something different whilst offering new fans the chance to experience an enhanced acoustic experience.

Often likened to musicians such as Bruce Springsteen, John Mayer and Bruce Cockburn, Martyn’s come a long way since the days when Epic signed him after he sold 30,000 copies of his self-financed album ‘An Aching and A Longing’. He continues to tour extensively on both sides of the Atlantic, building up a constantly expanding and enthusiastic fan base, bringing to their towns what many have described as ‘the best musical experience of their lives.’

There is versatility to Martyn’s music that is hard to categorise. Many have tried, resulting in labels such as Folk, Rock, Soul, Folk Funk and Americana; all of which somehow miss the mark. But sometimes music doesn’t need a defining genre. Martyn’s music and social commentary manage to empower and speak for many. Built around memories and observations alike, his work is inspired by all that’s good in the world and also that with which society often falls short.

Martyn Joseph. A unique talent driven by passion and love for his trade, he continues to write, sing and play from the heart. It’s a road he’s been travelling for most of his life and as he often tells his audience; ‘you keep turning up and so will I.’
