Sister folk band Joseph recently visited Rams Head on Stage, and Steve Satzberg was there to photograph the show!
The following article is adapted from a press release.
Across an 18-song setlist on May 10, Joseph presented songs from across their catalog. Early in the show, they performed “Starting Over at the End,” their first song as a duo — Natalie and Meegan Closner — since the departure of their sister, Allison.
“Starting Over At The End” was Joseph’s first new music since the release of their critically acclaimed 2023 album The Sun. It is the group’s first single since their sister Allie Closner decided to step away from performing and touring with Joseph.
“Meegan and I wrote this song processing all the complex feelings of ending one life chapter and beginning another,” Natalie said. “We’ve both been through a lot of change in the last couple years with relationships ending and moving cities and now our band effectively going from three to two. With that much change comes so much loss but also so much gained. It’s not as simple as being sad about not being on the road with our sister, although that sadness is certainly moving through, and it’s not only hope for a dream of the future, although that thrums low underneath it, and it’s not only the sharp fear of the unknown, even though that strikes regularly… it’s all of it at once. It’s always scary starting over cause you’re always starting over at the end.”

Raised in a musical household (their father was a jazz singer and drummer, their mother was a theater teacher), Joseph officially formed in 2014 and got their start playing house shows, quickly landing a deal with ATO Records. After making their widely lauded debut with 2015’s I’m Alone, No You’re Not, which featured their hit song, “White Flag,” the band went on to attract the attention of artists such as Billie Eilish, and tour with the likes of James Bay, Amos Lee and The Shins, in addition to taking the stage at major festivals like Coachella, Bonnaroo, Austin City Limits, Glastonbury, and more.
