About Me

Josh Bales is a singer/songwriter originally from Tennessee. He has just finished a brand new, 10-song, country album to be released in Summer 2008. This new batch of songs is by far Josh’s most creative yet. With players from LeAnn Rimes’ band and other Nashville, TN. greats, the record has a vibe that will no doubt attract a larger and more eclectic audience. It is this broader outlook on art and audience that reveals Bales’ maturity in both songwriting and recording. Josh will arrest you with songs that are creative, honest, fun, and filled with a musicality that makes him accessible to a wide audience. In a word, Josh’s lyrics and melodies are combined by his one-of-a-kind voice to create a sound landscape that is addictive. In 2002 Josh released his first album “About A Boy,” followed by his 2005 debut release “Josh Bales.” In 2004 one of the songs from this record, entitled “I Need You,” was recorded by The Swift and can still be heard on radio stations across the country. Josh’s 2006 project “Underneath the Armor” includes everything from introspective songs (“Ten Thousand Places”) to pop driven love songs (“Dark Haired Darling”). His 2008 project is his most elaborate to date, though. The writing, energy level, and production combine to make it a force to be reckoned with in the world of country music. These are certainly exciting times for Josh Bales. Josh travels the country year-round bringing his songs to all kinds of venues.
