Joseph

At a criminally undersold show at the Commodore this weekend, the soulful sisters of three-piece Portland band Joseph played their hearts out to a modest but adoring crowd. Not familiar with their music until seeing them on the touring circuit, I seized the opportunity to catch them live and walked away a fan.

With Joseph, it's more than sisterly love.

Since their last southern California appearance, in April at Coachella, the Portlanders released a new EP, “Stay Awake,” and their set Friday night at the El Rey Theatre sampled from it and their acclaimed 2016 “I’m Alone, No You’re Not.

A lot of current bands are comprised of musicians that are related, such as the sister singing trios of The Staves and HAIM.

Rarely, if ever, will you hear vocalists as locked in, with such astonishing harmonic intimacy, range, breath control, mic control, tone, balance and power.
