Martyn Joseph is a performer like no other. Shades of Springsteen, John Mayer, Bruce Cockburn and Dave Matthews there may be – but he stands in his own right, built on a reputation for giving what thousands have described as the best live music experience of their lives. Always charming, sometimes alarming, he is a unique songwriter who digs deep and delivers an ultimate, life affirming message.
This Welsh singer songwriter has been in demand on both sides of the Atlantic for over two decades. He has won fans everywhere with his uncanny fusion of material – feisty, pull no punches big issue numbers alongside stripped bare love songs. Martyn’s 31st album Under Lemonade Skies released in October 2011 was enthusiastically described by Radio 2’s Bob Harris as “his biggest album to date”.
