If you've been to any shows in Bucks County over the past few years, you probably saw Peter Joseph open up for someone, armed with only an acoustic guitar and a bunch of effects pedals. Joseph started as a solo singer-songwriter, but he's recruited a full line-up for his first proper EP, Colorful.
The record, which Joseph produced himself, features locals Rich Pena on guitar and Noelle Casella on cello, along with a host of other musicians collectively know as The Roaring Twenties. The result is a nice blend of blues, folk and straight up rock 'n' roll. Hearing Joseph's tunes fleshed out with proper backing definitely shines a light on his talent. - Joseph Simek
Peter Joseph & the Roaring Twenties
Colorful
By Jessica Selby
Peter Joseph's EP, Colorful, will make you feel good from the beginning. It's sweet sounding folk rock, all around. "Colorful", the title track, is slightly reminiscent of the New Radicals and the Rolling Stones, and "For You" just sounds so pretty. The problem is, there are only 5 tracks, and there wasn't a huge variety of genres. If the album was longer, there may have been more room for a larger array. On the other hand, at least the singular sound Peter Joseph & the Roaring Twenties produces is, you know, good. This is definitely a group to look out for. - Origivation Magazine

Bio
June 2010 brings the pressing of the EP "Colorful", featuring singer-songwriter Peter Joseph's booming voice and delicate chord structures, guitarist Rich Pena's Page-esque riffing and Noelle Casella's du Pre worthy cello lines.
Recorded, mixed and produced entirely by Pete, the album stands as the first official release following years of home-made music being sold out of a bookbag.
"Colorful" finds Pete addressing the themes of life as they fly by (as The Roaring Twenties tend to), adjusting to life as an adult, love and loss, and what it means to just be. The group bounces back and forth through a pinball machine of musical idiom: bluesy balladeers, Americana folk crooners, closet jazz freaks, and lovers of rock 'n' roll.
Ultimately though, these are friends who connected because they love music, and love making music together. ©2010
