Josh recently gave up his day job as a photographer in order to tour the country extensively throughout 2008 with his newest solo release titled “Beyond The Stars”

His music is derived from his stories…. though relatively a young man he has experienced much; beginning his life in Foster Care, bouncing from behaviour class to home instruction and eventually to a treatment center, before finally settling down into a more refined and calmer nature throughout his teens while living with his biological father and step mother.

When he was 15 years old his step sister would take sadly take her own life. This would be the catalyst for Josh to step out of the bedroom where he had been strumming casually over the previous years and jump with both feet into his first rock band.

Years later at the age of 21, Josh’s father and best friend lost his year and a half battle with Multiple Myeloma Cancer (blood & bone). Deeply hurt, Josh also would end his six year relationship with his first love and highschool sweetheart.

In 2003, Josh and counterpart Jeremy Rice would release Josh’s first solo record titled “Sunday Night & Monday Morn.” The title track of which was a poem penned by his late father when his two boys were in foster care.

Several tours, several dozen musicians and several veichles later, Josh can now be found scouring the country telling stories from the road and of his multiple life lessons.
