Joseph Arthur's debut album, BIG CITY SECRETS, came out for Real World Records in 1997, after Peter Gabriel casually listened to his demo tape.
Two years later, he recorded an EP called VACANCY, which earned him a Grammy for the artistic packaging.
2000 saw the release of COME TO WHERE I'M FROM, the album that, for the first time, exposed him to a larger audience (also thanks to opening up for Ben Harper and Gomez). During the same period, a live album recorded at the Gypsy Tea Room in Dallas saw the light.
After releasing 4 EPs called JUNKYARD HEARTS, his third album, called REDEMPTION'S SON, came out in May 2002.
In the middle of a long and successful tour during which performances were, to a good extent, recorded and sold immediately after the last note had been played, he found time to release one more album: an alternative rock project called HOLDING THE VOID.
Summer 2003 saw him on tour with Tracy Chapman in the US. After signing a new recording contract with Vector Recordings, Joseph finished working on what is his third 'official' full album, OUR SHADOWS WILL REMAIN .
While touring the US alone and with Joan Wasser, a new Ep called AND THE THIEVES ARE GONE came out in December 2004. Shortly afterwards, Joseph went on a short and very successful tour with Rem throughout Europe.
Besides, he paints and writes...
