    Rupert Wates was born in London. He has been a full time songwriter since 1992 when he signed an exclusive deal with Eaton Music Publishing. He has written songs in all kinds of styles for all kinds of artists. During the Nineties he worked with Jazz singer Liz Fletcher, recording the albums Mellowmania and Live in the Park and Blue AfternoonsJoe's Cafe is a new and unique album concept. Fifteen original songs based on true stories, each interpreted by a different vocalist, retell the stories of ordinary American people, and through them trace the story of America itself. Recorded live in the studio in a single weekend, the album's warm sound evokes the welcoming atmosphere of an all-night cafe, where friends gather to share their stories. Featured virtuoso musicians include Darol Anger on violin and Michael Manring on bass.At the PSALM Salon, Wates will present a concert version of the CD Joe's Cafe. Each song will be performed by a different vocalist specially recruited for the show from among Wates' friends in the local songwriter community.
