Artists:Brian Joseph
From WWR
|
Five years ago, Brian Joseph walked precariously away from a burgeoning acting career, and hasn¹t looked back. Resembling a young Tom Waits in his goatee and pork pie hat, blessed with "a soulfully warm voice with just the right degree of husky catch and tremble" and tagged as a folk flavoured troubadour with comparisons that range from John Prine to Paul Simon and Randy Newman, he¹s now up to his third album and has clearly attracted some impressive admirers.
February of 2000 is when Brian Joseph abandoned all the glamorous trappings of life as a Los Angeles actor for the glory and prestige of being a full-time folk singer.
He took up piano at age five, followed by clarinet, bassoon, and singing. In high school he picked up guitar, inspired by Paul Simon, Joni Mitchell, James Taylor, Joan Baez, and the setting of the Colorado Rockies, where he spent his teens. The jazz of Miles Davis, Charlie Parker and Art Tatum further widened his musical palette. In college, Joseph majored in acting, and after earning his degree from CalArts in 1992, launched a successful acting career that led to several awards, including a Shellie in 1998 for Best Supporting Actor. His theater background has helped him hone his stage presence and charm audiences as a performing songwriter..
