Portland’s Jerry Joseph is a bonafide “triple-threat”, a prolific and accomplished songwriter, a powerful singer and a memorable performer. This November, Jerry will be returning to the UK for his first London residency, split between the Green Note, Camden (07/11/24) and the Betsey Trotwood, Farringdon (12/11/24, 22/11/24) plus additional intimate shows at select UK venues. 

Jerry’s November tour comes after the launch of his new livestream OIL, ‘Where Music, Spirit and Community Meet’, which launched in the US on the 26th Sept. and follows in the footsteps of his 2020 virtual concert series ‘Happy Book’.

‘The idea: is, not unlike Happy Book... it’s a weekly episode (and theoretically more than weekly… or less)… I plan on playing songs... leaning on the more spiritual side of my songwriting and covers… but... in a broader picture … this quickly includes guest musicians, conversations with you... yes you… maybe taking questions, maybe just ranting, hopefully interviewing my weird life’s friends and characters (endless content and definitely not limited to music)…’

With no way to tour to promote his highly acclaimed 2020 record The Beautiful Madness in the midst of a pandemic, Jerry pivoted quickly and was one of the early adopters of the virtual concert, developing the weekly Jerry Joseph’s Happy Book which streamed on all his social media channels and was watched faithfully week after week by thousands of fans. Live from his home or The Panther Studio in Portland, Joseph performed and told the stories behind his catalog of over 400 songs with occasional guests for 64 weeks and has continued to return to Happy Book on occasion since. Once the world opened up, Jerry toured the UK and Europe solo and opened for Drive-by Truckers’ sold-out tour in support of the release. 

The Beautiful Madness was produced by Patterson Hood with Drive-By Truckers as his backing band, the album received rave reviews from the media including being chosen ‘Americana Album of the Month’ by Uncut Magazine, in the Top 20 of 2020 by Glide Magazine and one of the Top Albums of 2020 by Paste Magazine. Uncut Magazine called it, "An album for the times,” and Patterson wrote in the liner notes:

"Jerry, to me, is a cult figure who could, in some alternate reality, have easily been one of the biggest stars in the world. One of the greatest live performers I have ever seen and long one of my favorite songwriters.” 

His last record Baby You’re The Man Who Would Be King (2023), recorded in New York and produced by Eric “Roscoe” Ambel, was released last year to widespread acclaim (Americana UK, Folk Radio UK, Americana Highways). Jerry’s recent trips to the UK include headline slots at Ramblin’ Roots and the Maverick Festival, and a UK album launch at London’s Water Rats.

In his four-decade career; as a solo artist, with the Jackmormons, supergroup Stockholm Syndrome, his two-piece The Denmark Veseys, his beloved 80s cult band, Little Women, or most recently with Drive-by Truckers backing him; he has continuously toured the world, including such unlikely locales as Lebanon, Israel, Kurdish Iraq, India, Cambodia and Afghanistan, and released a steady stream of albums. In 40 years the Oregon Music Hall of Fame Inductee has amassed an impressive catalog of work as well as many stamps on his passport.

As Jerry looks ahead to the end of 2024, he is preparing for his highly anticipated UK Residency Tour in November, where he will perform a series of intimate shows across London and the UK, with special guests Casey Neill and Ella Spencer confirmed. These shows promise to be a rare opportunity to see a true master of his craft.
