Joseph Arthur and the Lonely Astronauts to Tour North America

Joseph Arthur writes more songs than you, all of your friends, everyone you’ve ever met and Ryan Adams combined.

The above paragraph is probably not at all true, but with the obligatory “Arthur is prolific” junk out of the way, we can tell you about his new tour. Two days before the release of his new album, Let’s Just Be, on April 17 (the first of two new records to be released this year), Arthur heads to Montreal with his band, the Lonely Astronauts, to kick off a 30 date tour with Stars of Track & Field supporting.

Arthur and the band will perform “Diamond Ring” on Late Night with Conan O’Brien Friday, April 13 to kick off the tour.
