The Oxted Sessions are delighted to welcome Jerry Joseph for a special headline performance at the Oxted United Reformed Church.

"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)

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 and he will be supporting The Delines and Drive-By Truckers on their 2022 European tours, but before then Jerry will be playing a small handful of headline shows in February backed by local Americana UK nominee's Our Man In The Field from Kent.

Residing in Portland, Oregon, Jerry (who is an inductee into the Oregon Music Hall of Fame) has been releasing records and touring the States and the rest of the world since the early 1980s. In 2020, Jerry released 'The Beautiful Madness', produced by Patterson Hood and with The Drive-By Truckers serving as his backing band, which was his first proper European release. The album recieved rave reviews:
?Perfect? Americana Album of the Month 8/10 UNCUT
4/5 Mojo
"Not just a very good album; it is an exceptional one" 9/10 Americana UK
?A Masterpiece, contender for album of the year? Folk Radio UK
'Candidate For Album of the Year' 9/10 God Is In the TV

Jerry will be joined by UK act Our Man In the Field (LP on Rootsy Music) aka Alex Ellis who takes inspiration from Van Morrison, Neil Young, CCR, and Wilco. His own sound is indefinable yet familiar- its introspective, intimate and deeply soulful style stands comfortably alongside modern-day artists Ray LaMontagne, Damien Rice, Foy Vance and Joe Purdy.

Please note that all attendees will need to show proof of vaccination, or a negative lateral flow test from the previous 24 hours.
