Joseph Arthur usually goes it alone. On stage, he used to perform looping to fill out his sound onstage; you could think of him as more of a one-man band than a solo singer-songwriter. But this tour, he's changed everything.

He's got other musicians onstage and even back-up vocalists. He brought along some of those colleagues to The Current studios and talked to Mark Wheat and played a few songs.

Songs performed: "Slide Away," "Electrical Storm" and "Black Lexus."
