Event
Joshua James + Cory Chisel
Joshua James is yet another version of the so-called singer-songwriter. In the overflowing sea of this genre, Joshua is an artist that is steadily rising to the surface. Music is best when it cuts to the bone, when it offers immediate, simple satisfaction. Its hard to define, but you know it when you hear it. In the whispery, distinct voice of Joshua James, the stage is set for this kind of instant gratification.
Joshua was raised in the heartland of Lincoln, Nebraska. Most of his teenage years were spent waxing rails and kick flipping his way through the local skate scene. At the age of 19, Joshua packed his bags and traveled abroad through South America, spending most of his time in Venezuela. Seeing the culture of another part of the world was an eye opening experience for him, and it provided a catalyst for the inspiration he would soon begin to tap. Upon his return to the U.S., Joshua found his true calling and began to write. It had taken him almost 20 years to pick up a guitar, but this inauguration had a spontaneous effect on his life. It was like his voice was there all along waiting for a chance to escape. And now at 24 years of age, Joshua has blossomed into one of the best new voices to come along in some time, and hes just started his journey.
Joshua currently calls Utah home, and it is here that he began captivating audiences. First at house parties, but quickly becoming a staple on the Salt Lake City and Provo music scenes. Joshua has had a prolific few years and his songs have made their way onto the internet through social networking sites such as myspace. It was through the internet that some of Joshuas demos caught the ear of Los Angeles based producer Shannon Edgar. In May of 2006, Joshua came to Los Angeles to record his debut record, The Sun Is Always Brighter. Shannon rounded up a group of musicians at his studio in Burbank, and the intimate gathering provided the perfect accompaniment to the stark and austere nature of Joshuas music.
