Readers Artist of 2013: S. Joel Norman (Second Place)

S. Joel Norman spent most of 2013 in the recording studio working on his forthcoming album, Traveling Light, but was also building a following through raucous live performances. Norman released his debut EP, Take It In Stride, back in 2011 which demonstrated his strong blues foundation. Since that time he has delved even deeper into that world and Traveling Light promises to be all the better as a result. The new album’s title track was released as a single earlier this month.

You can pre-order Traveling Light now, and preorder your tickets for the release event at Metro on March 1st with My My My.
