Produced by Joplin and Grammy-winning producer Lorenzo Wolff, known for his work on Taylor Swift’s Midnights and Folklore, GpYr captures the raw vitality of a live session with meticulous attention to texture and detail. The result is a collection of songs that highlight Joplin’s storytelling prowess has been a hallmark of his career since the release of Useful Music in 2001, which introduced the world to the #1 hit Camera One. Produced by Talking Heads’ Jerry Harrison, the song became a cultural touchstone, featured on Scrubs, and solidified Joplin’s reputation for making the deeply personal feel universal. As he explains, “It’s the kinda song you probably heard while pursuing aisle nine at the grocery store.” His career highlights also include Blue Skies Again, which was covered by Jessica Lea Mayfield on her critically acclaimed Nonesuch debut Tell Me, earning over a million downloads on iTunes. As 30A founder and legendary Indigo Girl/Matthew Sweet manager Russell Carter recently said of Joplin “...I am willing to bet Josh has written a bad song but I can tell you I have never heard one.” If you have ever wanted to see Josh Joplin Group play what TimeOut London calls a “a high energy live show…” and Paste praises as “... part Armed Forces, Elvis Costello, with Woody Guthrie’s bent for storytelling…” get your tickets NOW! If the past is prologue, this show will sell-out!
