Welsh singer-songwriter Martyn Joseph will start his “Because We Can” tour with long-time songwriting partner Stewart Henderson. This will be the first time they’ve both toured together in Canada. The 11-city Canadian tour begins on May 6 in Cobourg and will offer a variety of poetry and music.
Martyn Joseph is a performer like no other. Shades of Springsteen, Knopfler and Dave Matthews there may be, but he stands in his own right, built on a reputation for giving what thousands have described as the best live music experience of their lives.
Stewart Henderson is a poet, songwriter and broadcaster. For the past 20 years he has enjoyed a fruitful songwriting partnership with Martyn Joseph contributing lyrics to some of Martyn’s standards. Stewart has also fulfilled poetic commissions for various relief agencies, travelling to the Philippines and Thailand to write about the plight of children in servitude.
In addition to the concert, Joseph will show his support for World Vision Canada’s work in Democratic Republic of Congo by encouraging his fans to sponsor a child there. Concert goers will not only enjoy a night of great music, they’ll have the unique opportunity to hear how they can make a difference in the life of a child who is living in poverty.
Here’s information about attending the concerts.
