"a mix of Folk and Blues from a passionate soul...this is the stuff that a generation brought up on Bruce Springsteen can tune into today... could be the next great undiscovered singer/songwriter"...SAN JOSE MERCURY NEWS
Two songs from Arthur''s Americana/Folk Debut...EAST SIDE OF TOWN..."Simple Man" and "Danielle", Won the Grand Prize in the 2001 JOHN LENNON Song Contest Folk Category, and the 10th Annual BILLBOARD International Songwriting Contest
Country/Folk Category, respectively. In addition, Godfrey signed a publishing contract with EMI Music and he is
featured in the 2002 March/April issue of Performing Songwriter Magazine as ASCAP''s Spotlight Artist.
Godfrey''s "EAST SIDE OF TOWN" CD showcases his gruff, warm voice and ''Springsteenian'' songwriting. He is an Americana performer with a hard urban twist engrained in his music. Arthur''s songs about city streets, smoky juke joints, broken hearts and torn souls paint a picture so vivid one can just open the door, step inside and get as close as they dare. The album features stellar musicians including, harmonica wiz Norton Buffalo (The Steve Miller Band) and formed Doobie Brothers'' keyboardist Dale Ockerman.
"His songs cut through the Americana-Blues genre with a knife so sharp it draws blood"....
