His lifelong travels brought him to his eventual home of Portland, Oregon, where he currentlymakes melodies that satisfy like sweet tea on a Sunday afternoon. With guitar in hand and more than atouch of soul, his voice invites you into a sacred, rustic space of tired hopewhere confident honesty acquainted with grief fervently sings intothat guttural longing for good life and luster. He currently strives to write and perform songs that evoke rawemotion and feeling, heartbreak and yearning, fleeting contentment and love,and ultimately seeks to invite his listeners to connect with his heart andartistic voice through the music. Alone with his guitar or surrounded by fellow musical sojourners, hissongs draw listeners to a simple, soul-stirring experience.



Josh carries with him a rich history of music with roots in folk, blues, country,and gospel. He invokes musicalinfluences from Neil Young, Van Morrison, Jackson Browne and thesinger-songwriters of mid-20th century America as well as the deep soul-infusedtones of the likes of Otis Redding and Nina Simone. The result is a sound as grittyand fresh as the day you were born, and calming as a kindly breeze over fieldsof new mown hay on a warm summer night. He sings with a smooth, tempered tone that draws the listener into arich musical journey.
