Josh spent most of his life growing up in Wooster, OH. He started playing piano around the second grade with the help of two different teaching influences - One that taught him the theory behind music - The second that taught him the technical aspect. At age 12 he picked up the guitar, learning to play using all of the skills and dedication instilled in him by his early music teachers. At age 16 he began playing out on his own grabbing the attention of all types of music fans. After experimenting with early groups, “Love Lies Bleedingâ€, and stoner rock band, “Etherfaceâ€, Josh moved to Los Angeles. In L.A. he recorded demos with the likes of Gran Bel Fisher, played gigs with
Tim Easton, and played famous clubs like Hotel Cafe’ in Hollywood. Growing up listening to the music of Soundgarden, Ministry, Robert Johnson, and TomWaits, Josh formed a style that is heavily influenced in Blues Rock. He enhanced this base and made his own alternative-soul-rock sound. His use of raw, edgy, guitar intertwined with his sweet, slightly raspy, unique, voice encompasses his gripping, sometimes heartbreaking, extremely powerful lyrics, which help make Josh one of Ohio’s best songwriters. Combine all this with the melodic and driving bass lines of bass player, Mitch Pinkston (Jaywalking, La Ravancha), and the spicy, explosive rhythms of Drummer/Percussionist, Corey Gillen, and you have a powerhouse trio that will not only fully excite all of your senses but will have you begging to see the next show.
