Josh Joplin Group for one night only!!!
As always, Joplin is joined by the Josh Joplin Group, a decades-long collective of musicians whose chemistry adds depth and nuance to his work. Their collaborative shorthand, honed over years of shared experiences, shines on GpYr. The album’s sonic landscapes seamlessly shift between introspective moments and sweeping cinematic arrangements, blending Joplin’s sharp storytelling with the group’s intricate, genre-defying musicianship. The result is an album that feels both intimate and expansive—at once a photo album of memories and a concept record exploring an auto fictionalized version of Joplin’s real-life experiences.
Produced by Joplin and Grammy-winning producer Lorenzo Wolff (known for his work on Taylor Swift’s Midnights and Folklore) GpYr captures the raw vitality of a live session with meticulous attention to texture and detail. Wolff’s production enhances Joplin’s vision, infusing the record with vibrant energy while allowing its emotional core to resonate. The result is a collection of songs that are deeply personal yet universally relatable, driven by Joplin’s trademark pop hooks and lyrical depth.
Joplin’s storytelling prowess has been a hallmark of his career since the release of Useful Music in 2001, which introduced the world to the #1 hit “Camera One.” Produced by Talking Heads’ Jerry Harrison, the song became a cultural touchstone, was featured on Scrubs, and solidified Joplin’s reputation for making the deeply personal feel universal. His career highlights also include “Blue Skies Again,” which was covered by Jessica Lea Mayfield on her critically acclaimed Nonesuch Records debut, earning over a million downloads on iTunes. The Josh Joplin Group has shared stages with artists like Old 97’s, A Fine Frenzy, Travis, and Matthew Sweet, further cementing their legacy in the indie and alternative music scenes.
