JOE FLETCHER JOINS BILL WITH LUCINDA WILLIAMS, THE LONE BELLOW, LINDA PERHACS, JACKSON BROWNE, MANY MORE FOR NEWPORT FOLK FEST’S WAY OVER YONDER SEPTEMBER 26

ROLLING STONE PREVIEWS FLETCHER’S “DELICATE VISION [AND] FOLK POETRY” OF ‘YOU’VE GOT THE WRONG MAN,’ OUT OCT 7

Joe Fletcher will perform Friday at Way Over Yonder, presented by Newport Folk Festival, on the Carousel Stage at Santa Monica Pier at 6:40pm. He joins an all-star bill featuring Lucinda Williams, The Lone Bellow, Linda Perhacs, Jackson Browne, and many others at the two-day festival.

Last week, Rolling Stone previewed his new album ‘You’ve Got the Wrong Man’ (October 7) and set at Americana Music Fest, saying, “With a narrative writing style that eschews traditional structure in favor of twist-and-turn tales, Joe Fletcher's songs are like the musical version of Lombard Street: they wind and roll with steep changes, always ending with a birds-eye view that suddenly organizes it all into one delicate vision. The Rhode Islander-turned-Nashvillian's words flow more like folk poetry than verse-chorus status quo, picking on a honky-tonk spirit with a Tom Waits heart.”

Meanwhile, Paste Magazine premiered “I Never (Reprise),” which features a chorus of his Nashville-based friends including John McCauley of Deer Tick.
