JOSH JOPLIN “…Joplin is part Armed Forces, Elvis Costello, with Woody Guthrie’s bent for storytelling, but with a voice all his own.” -Paste

The Listening Booth! . Josh’ll be making his Delaware Debut having come from the studio where he will just be finishing up the 15th album of his career. What could that mean for him in 2027 when it’s released? A quick Google search of numerology suggests it may be an enchanting, even seductive record, chock-full of songs “resounding with creative composite vibrations that bring about transmuted works of emotional intensity...”Who knows! But unlike NUMBER 6 and NUMBER 13, which are both real trash numbers, Number 15 symbolizes taking chances — which we suggest means throwing caution to the wind and seeing a live show on a MONDAY night. Joplin has earned critical praise from Spin, Time Out NY/London, American Songwriter, Paste, Magnet, Vanity Fair, and NPR, to name a few. His song “Blue Skies Again, ”recorded by Jessica Lea Mayfield, has been downloaded over a million times, while his 2001 radio hit “Camera One” has perennially found new audiences from fans of Scrubs as a featured song in Season 1, and Lloyd's Market shoppers who discover it wandering the aisles in search of fruit butter and crackers. Legendary artist manager Russell Carter (Matthew Sweet, Indigo Girls) says of Josh Joplin: “I am willing to bet Josh has written a bad song, but I can tell you I have never heard one. ”Joplin’s latest full-length release, GpYr — produced by Josh Joplin and Grammy-winning engineer and producer Lorenzo Wolff (known for his work on Taylor Swift’s Midnights and Folklore) — lands somewhere between a concept album and a sonic scrapbook. Geoffrey Himes (Washington Post/Paste) says of it, “I think it’s [Joplin’s] best work.” Spin calls it “a collection of pop-infused gems that captures the raw energy of Joplin’s earlier work, paired with the musical and lyrical depth of an older, wiser songwriter. One of the most underrated bands of the last 30 years returns with refreshed spin on their classic alt-pop sound"
