'YOU'VE GOT THE WRONG MAN' ALBUM COMING THIS FALL
"RAW BEAUTY" – BOSTON PHOENIX
Fast-rising Americana songwriter Joe Fletcher will make his
Americana Festival debut in Nashville, TN on September 20, following his
Newport Folk Festival set July 27. His new album 'You've Got The Wrong Man'
will be released this fall.
Fletcher, whose sound swirls blues, outlaw country, and
gritty Americana influences, made his Newport debut last year. He has also
opened for Jason Isbell, Deer Tick, The Low Anthem, John Doe, and Lucero and
recorded with John McCauley (Deer Tick). Vanity Fair recently ran a Q&A
with Fletcher and McCauley.
Earlier this year, he was featured in GQ and Refinery 29's
2013 SXSW fashion spreads. The Boston Phoenix called his 2011 album 'White Lighter'
"raw beauty," continuing, "The listener can't help but be swept
up in each of the 12 tracks. Lyrically, Fletcher bleeds George Jones, Merle
Haggard, and Johnny Cash with first-hand accounts of barstool outlaws and the
family man blues, while his acoustic skills invite comparisons to Townes Van
Zandt."
DigBoston has praised his "raucous live shows."
No Depression says, "His signature brand of dark and
lyrically driven honky tonk is interspersed with a softer side that would make
Hagg or Jones proud."
