Bio
Born in New Jersey, raised in Upstate NY ( REAL upstate, not 30-minutes-outside-of-NYC-upstate ) and set adrift for a few years building up boxes of 4-track tape and noisey demos recorded on cheap computers, Newspaper Joe (birth name Mike Clark) is currently a Brooklyn-based artist who performs often in NYC. His "story" plays out better in his songs than it does as a stretched out narrative. Its culmlative years of living and breathing things like uncertainty, curiosity, romanticism, political idealism and even, at times, wreckless self-abandon. The lyrics could often embody any person who's on the hunt for that next catharsis that is either going to leave them catatonic, or sparked with the notion that it's time to get the hell out of Dodge. .
