Artemus Joel is an Americana/Pop musician from Carrollton, Texas who takes influence from the 70's as much as the 80's. Often described as Jackson Browne meets Phil Collins, his songs range from the quiet, string-laden ballads of drifting apart (Phases) to synth-pop inspired tracks that harken back to the 80's (Somewhere in the Dark), the through line of the music of Artemus Joel are lyrics that speak to heartbreak, mental health and the lived experience.
