After a remarkable decade with the indie rock trio William the Conqueror, frontman Ruarri Joseph is returning to his roots with a series of solo performances under his own name. This marks his first solo appearance in 12 years, offering fans a rare opportunity to experience the intimate, stripped-back performances that launched his career.
Born in Edinburgh and raised in New Zealand, Joseph's musical journey began in the UK, where he gained recognition as a solo artist with four albums released between 2007 and 2013. In 2015, he co-founded the band/art project William the Conqueror. The band received critical acclaim for their fusion of bluesy grunge and Americana with anthemic British alt-rock, drawing comparisons to acts like Kings of Leon and Nirvana and touring world wide to this day.
This upcoming solo tour offers a unique chance to witness Joseph's evolution as an artist, revisiting the raw, heartfelt performances that defined his early work. It's a celebration of his musical roots and a testament to his enduring passion for connecting with audiences in an intimate setting.
"There are few more heartfelt and soul-baring writers in any medium today." - MOJO
"Dylan had he grown up in Cornwall." - NME
"One of our finest songwriters and lyricists." - SUNDAY TIMES
