ABOUT JOSEPH ARTHUR

Arthur has toured with the likes of R.E.M., Ben Harper, and Gomez and has had his song “In the Sun” covered by Chris Martin of Coldplay and remixed by Justin Timberlake. A painter, a soloist and collaborator Arthur’s prodigious talents prompted Peter Gabriel to personally sign him to Real World. He is smart, surprising and infinitely rewarding, constantly stirring the imagination. A mature Burgundy in it’s prime, lashings of character and nuance perfectly balanced.

Every sold-out show is an opportunity to discover afresh the amazing strength of Arthur’s deep and abiding passion for his craft. This winter join Joseph Arthur and guests at City Winery for a unique and inspired series of very special shows.
