Got Jerry Joseph today - one of the Boulder historic music scene's most famously neglected anti-heroes, Joseph graduated from party-fun-hippy-reggae band frontguy to a lethally affecting songwriter and jack of all trades, lurking as the resident Elvis Costello-via-Tom Waits songwriter sidekick to the jam scene (famously associated with tireless promotion of Widespread Panic back in the late 80's), and now fronting The Jackmormons (his day gig for the better part of a decade) and playing Stockholm Syndrome, a kind of jam supergroup made up of Panic and Gov't Mule members.
He brings both bands to Boulder for gigs late next week - interview went reasonably well, he's always good for wry observations on loads of subjects, although his cell signal kept blinking in and out, so patching together a story may be a challenge.
Worth mentioning - his latest EP, "Charge" recorded with his NYC songwriter/dobroist buddy Bret Mosely is a serious treat, and even features an oddly consonant cover of Modest Mouse's "Missed The Boat"
