He learned to let his roots run deep, and the roots are forever present in his music.
After years of travelling and performing abroad, Joe Newton brings his blend of influences back to his roots on the Mid North Coast.
His songs are a sonic feast of folk, blues, soul, bluegrass and reggae with psychedelic overtones, served by a master storyteller and virtuoso guitarist.
His music is powerful and his message is a story of the soul.
“There is some un-deliberated grace, and undeniable light that has surfaced in this man, and it is now ours to rejoice in.”
Now based in Gleniffer, and working on his debut album, Joe will be performing at 5 Church, Street, Bellingen on Saturday, May 6 from 7.30pm.
