Ruarri Joseph In Liverpool & Leeds
Ruarri Joseph returns this Autumn with a new album ‘Brother’ (Pip
Productions). The record, Ruarri’s fourth studio album to date, is a
record inspired and propelled by ideas of friendship, relationships
and family.
Dates:
13th November @ Studio 2, Liverpool
20th November @ Brudenell Social Club, Leeds
Originally born in Edinburgh, the nomadic Joseph found his songwriting
roots in the southwestern Pacific. A move to New Zealand,
and the young Ruarri found himself coming of age in Dannevirke
(population 6,000), an isolated, rural farming community.
At 17 Joseph packed his suitcase and moved back to the UK and
settled in London, where he released his debut album ‘Tales Of
Grime and Grit’ through Atlantic Records. Shortly after he quit
Atlantic in favour of independence and so in 2008, he formed his
own label ‘Pip Productions’ through which all his subsequent LPs
have been released.
Inspired by Bob Dylan, the singer song-writer’s work has also
earned him favourable comparisons to the chart-topping pop savvy
sounds of Damian Rice and David Gray, artists which through no
coincidence Joseph now shares management with.
