“Another beautiful morning in Melbourne. The puffy white clouds move fast and low from the direction of Tasmania. It’s hard to believe we’ve been in Australia for 7 months. The time has passed so quickly. Henry is off to take the metro train to the studio in the CBD. The tracks that he and his band of Aussies are capturing in the studio have everyone bedazzled. That’s what you call heaven, mate. An important new voice has arrived... unique, yet mysteriously familiar..” Excerpt from diary of Stacy Joseph In August 2010 Henry Joseph left Los Angeles for Australia. He had a feeling that the Land of Oz would be fertile soil to realize his musical vision. Six months later Henry had a band composed of some of the finest “musos” in Australia. Henry’s American music combined with musicians from Melbourne’s jazz, rock and pop scenes resulted in a sound and feel that was new and special and everyone involved knew it. The album Brand New Start is the culmination of this international musical odyssey. The road travelled by Henry Joseph is a journey of the heart. A true musical walkabout. A magical fusion of Americana and the land down under. His beautiful and haunting melodies lead you into a world of emotion. Henry Joseph’s music moves through genres to create its own mysterious style. Evocative and sensuous. Music and lyrics by Henry Joseph Produced by Jonathan Zion.
