The Graduation Ceremony

Very glad to see Joseph Arthur's upcoming release getting a lot of note around the Internet. This bit is from American Songwriter:

"Singer-songwriter Joseph Arthur’s new album, The Graduation Ceremony, is currently streaming on NPR Music ahead of its May 24 release date. It’s his first solo album since 2006’s Nuclear Daydream, and the followup to and follow up to Fistful of Mercy, his 2010 collaboration with Ben Harper and Dhani Harrison. Beginning June 12, Arthur will perform for ten straight nights at The Living Room in New York City. He’ll also be performing at Pearl Jam’s 20th Anniversary Festival on Labor Day weekend in East Troy, Wisconsin, on a bill which will also feature Queens of the Stone Age, Mudhoney, Glenn Hansard and the Strokes."

Given the rest of the bill, I doubt I will be going to Alpine Valley to see Joseph. But if he will also be playing solo at a club or other venue in Milwaukee or Madison, I'll be there. At the moment, Arthur is touring in France and Germany, so I will fill the gap by downloading The Graduation Ceremony.
