Joe Philpott in conversation with John Breen

‘Not just a book about music, All Roads Lead To Where You Are is about risk and reinvention, about what happens when you step into the unknown and trust that you’ll find yourself there.

A lyrical exploration of music, migration, and memory; a story of chasing songs, chasing dreams, and finding your way home again, and what it takes to step beyond the familiar and into the vastness of America’s musical landscape.

Throughout his career, Mr Philpott has toured internationally, performed on The Late Show with David Letterman and Late Night with Conan O’Brien, and shared stages with artists including R.E.M., Sheryl Crow, and Def Leppard.

As a founding member of the Irish band Rubyhorse, whose song ‘Punchdrunk’ was recorded with George Harrison, Joe Philpott’s life and career have spanned Ireland and the US, from Cork’s pubs to American stages and back again.’ (Echo Live)
