Sun, Sun, Sun: Here It Comes

Joseph Arthur treated a hometown crowd at New York's Bowery Ballroom last night (Sept. 27) to a surprise appearance from R.E.M. frontman Michael Stipe, who shared vocals with the Akron, Ohio, native on "In the Sun" during the encore. Stipe, of course, spearheaded a relief campaign for Hurricane Katrina victims last fall with his own cover of "In the Sun." Jaded Insider is proud to share our very own video of the collaboration by clicking here. Arthur, whose new album, "Nuclear Daydream," was released last week, just kicked off a North American tour backed by a crack four-piece band. His parents, sister and old buds from Akron were on hand for the evening as well.
