About Me


Up-and-coming classical-jazzster-punk-rocker Josiah Wordsworth has been rocking the Minneapolis underground indie music scene since 2005. The menacing and chaotic music is a mash up of Beethoven, Ben Folds, and The Bad Plus.

With two albums under his belt, Josiah Wordsworth has made a stunning splash across the radio airwaves, receiving airplay on 180 CMJ affiliated radio stations, charting in the Top 10 in many markets for multiple weeks. In addition to the radio success, Josiah Wordsworth's music has been recently licensed to various TV networks, such as MTV, Oxygen, and Lifetime. 2009 has marked a big year for Josiah Wordsworth, notably being a featured showcase at South By Southwest Music Festival in Austin, TX. Josiah Wordsworth is currently writing new material and grinding it out in the studio, working on their new release, expected to be released in early 2010.
