Often dubbed ‘The Welsh Springsteen’, it came as no surprise when Martyn decided to release an album featuring his unique and passionate interpretations of 17 songs by The Boss. With Tires Rushing By In The Rain, Joseph’s strong vocals, skilled guitar and harmonica playing inject new life into some of the lesser known Springsteen ‘blue collar life’ songs, peppered with a handful of stripped back takes on milestone classics like Thunder Road, Badlands and The Rising. Needless to say, critics and fans love it.
In this special one-off UK gig, Martyn will perform the acclaimed album in its entirety.
“Springsteen-indebted Americana, suspended folk chords glistening beneath troubadour tales, his lyrical eloquence still inspired almost 30 years on from his debut.” MOJO
