Event information

"One of the greatest live performers I have ever seen and long one of my favourite songwriters, one of the absolute best of our generation." (Patterson Hood - Drive-By Truckers).

Announcing Jerry Joseph's first ever Birmingham headline show coming off the back of sell out tours supporting and playing with the Drive-By Truckers and his friends, The Delines, from his hometown of Portland, Oregon.

Jerry's album The Beautiful Madness (Décor Records) which was given rave reviews across the UK and EU and saw Jerry headlining the Maverick Festival where promoter Paul Spencer called it the best set he has ever seen there. Jerry has been releasing records (over 30!) and touring the States and the rest of the world since the early 1980s but the The Beautiful Madness was his first UK release, produced by Patterson Hood and recorded with all the Drive-By Truckers backing him up on the album. It was also the first time the Truckers recorded with Jason Isbell since he left the band in 2007. While Jerry performs solo acoustic, he is a force of nature and his shows are as strong as any full band.

Jason Isbell called him one of the greatest triple threats, a great singer, songwriter and performer. Richmond Fontaine liked him so much they took him on support for their UK farewell tour in 2016.
