Joseph Arthur @ Bootleg

JOSEPH ARTHUR takes over the Bootleg Theater for Music Residency & Living, Breathing Art Exhibit, February 8th through March 1st Songsmith, poet and Grammy-nominated visual artist Joseph Arthur will be transforming the Bootleg Theater in Los Angeles into his workshop where he will perform, paint and curate a new, ever-evolving exhibit of his art every Tuesday night beginning February 8th through March 1st. The residency marks Joseph's return to Los Angeles following two sold-out nights at the Troubadour and three sold-out nights with Fistful of Mercy at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery. A mesmerizing orchestrator of sound loops, Joseph often creates his own soundtrack to live stage painting. Listen for music from his first solo album since 2006's 'Nuclear Daydream' (more on that soon!). Joseph will also be creating, showing and selling his art in The Fold's gallery (2214 Beverly Blvd. - Bootleg's backstage area) for the duration of his residency. All artwork will be for sale and all performances will be recorded and sold as bootlegs immediately following the show. Peter Gabriel hails Joseph's artwork as exhibiting "strength and a visceral quality," connecting "Expressionism, Art Brut, Basquiat and the Graffiti movement," and Vanity Fair names him as "one of our most emotionally revealing and talented singer-songwriters."
