The Joseph Arthur & The Lonely Astronauts Spring Tour continues in support of their new record Let’s Just Be, released on April 17th! The Lonely Astronauts are sounding better than ever, so don't miss them when they come through your town!
Read what the press has been saying about Let’s Just Be:
"Put on the first song and it will take you through the record. It's a ride and it's a good one."

"Arthur has recruited a rocking new band to beef up his sound.  With their help, he rips through swaggering homages to the Stones circa Exile on Main St. ("Diamond Ring," "Let’s Just Be,") and shifts gears with a few dark, delicate ballads that could have fit comfortably on Nuclear Daydream."

"More outgoing than ever, he now screams and shouts in a throaty falsetto, fronting a band fluent in classic rock, glam and punk. The record has the rawness and immediacy of a live performance, and no doubt Arthur and his band are enjoying themselves (how else to explain the 20-minute "Lonely Astronaut"?)."

"Rock influences show up a lot on "Let's Just Be," from the Exile on Main Street-era Rolling Stones vibe on the first single, "Diamond Ring," complete with Jagger-esque falsettos, to the glam-rock grandeur of the David Bowie-fueled "Spaceman.""  Grade A-
