Event Information:
Josh Joplin isnt one to dwell on past glories, but there was a time when he was chasing songs worldwide. In 2001, his breakout single Camera One became the first independently released song to hit #1 at Triple A Top 40, landing Josh Joplin Group on Artemis Recordsa label that boasted acts as varied as J. Mascis, Warren Zevon, The Pretenders, and, yes, the Who Let the Dogs Out hitmakers, The Baha Men. (Camera One may not have unleashed any canines, but it did land a spot on the cult classic tv show Scrubs.) Joplin followed with The Future That Was (2002), produced by Rob Gal (Magnapop, Rock-a-Teens), and later earned critical praise for Jaywalker, Among the Oak & Ash, and Devil Ship.Now, after years of collaborating with friends and fellow musicians, he returns with his latest album, GpYr (gap year). Spin Magazine says GpYr is a collection of pop-infused gems that, with help of producer Lorenzo Wolff (Taylor Swifts Midnights and Folklore), captures the raw energy of Joplins earlier works...but with the musical and lyrical layers of the older, wiser musician Joplin has become. More than just a record, GpYr is a sonic scrapbooka story of four friends who, over one unforgettable summer and autumn, came together for a mission: to rescue Seely from a therapeutic boarding facility in remote New England. In saving her, they saved each other.While the Josh Joplin Group will celebrate the 25th anniversary of Useful Musicthe album some say started it allits Joplins new album that reminds us all of how far weve come.
