Dust & Snow
Limited Edition ~ Dust & Snow Vinyl LP
"Americana storytelling, ethereal soundscapes"
"Fine craft, fine crack in the voice, confidence and comfort in the voice..magic"
"Unique confessional, honest, with humor."
Joseph Tonelli managed to craft a new folk album that feels powerful and fierce, yet understated and personal, as the title of the release suggests. Just like dust, some tracks are seamless, minimal and bare: you hardly notice the layers accumulating in the corner of the room. Other songs transform the contours of the entire landscape around you, much like a snowstorm.
From tender and sweet to emotionally gripping, Joseph's songs stretch out towards different directions and moods, while retaining a beautiful unique concept. His vivid approach to storytelling and lyricism matches the music's essentialist arrangements and organic approach: these tunes don't feel engineered, but simply performed, as truthfully as it gets.
Joseph Tonelli- Lyrics, Vocals, Guitar

Joseph's music is refreshingly stripped down to the bare essentials, allowing the sheer evocative power of his lyricism to shine through the sparse arrangements and direct song formats, making for a mood that feels timeless, yet highly individual and character-driven.
Joseph is passionate about the inherent poetry of music. Inspired by lyrical giants such as Leonard Cohen, Nick Drake, Robert Hunter, and Sam Beam(Iron & Wine), he views every song as an opportunity to make a genuine connection. After many years and a long spiritual roundabout, Joseph is grateful for the opportunity to be creating and sharing his music again.
