Press Kit
Award-winning rock Guitarist Creating soulful songs with popular appeal. Living on the Central California Coast, Josh writes all his music, plays multiple instruments and produces all his records.
​
With musical roots in jazz, Josh's sound today combines genres of rock, soul and pop to create original music that is mass appeal. Writing songs and playing live shows since he was 16, Josh captures what we love about music — stories that move us with the shared pain and joy that life deals. He writes, sings, plays all instruments and produces his own music. Josh released his 7th studio album, Love Letter, in August 2023.
​
With Love Letter, Josh has served up his most personal work yet. The album is a heartfelt story, each chapter detailing his passion for music, while juggling all the emotions he feels while being on the road, away from his family, in an open and honest way.
2020 was a pivotal year for Josh. He had just signed with indy label Pacific Records and was ready to hit to road to promote his latest release when the pandemic hit, putting his career on hold. He also welcomed his first child in April.
​
For the next 2 years, Josh did what thousands of artists were also doing: creating music, searching for truth, assessing life. Love Letter is a gorgeous and raw autobiographical look into the dueling emotions felt when doing the things we love, with a price to pay.
“It’s impossible to overstate the depth of Josh Rosenblum’s talent. Themulti-instrumentalist and singer-songwriter’s rich and emotive voice soars andhis musicianship sparkles on his new album, Love Letter, a 17-song collectionthat displays his versatility and soulful delivery. It was the clear frontrunnerfor the 2023 New Times Music Awards’ Album of the Year—
a well-deserved winfor an artist on the cusp of stardom.”
—New Times music columnist Glen Starkey
2023-2024 has been a pivotal year for Josh, with a critical mass traction of awareness for just how talented he is as an original artist. With 8 studio albums under his belt and booked full-time as a performer, he continues to grow his audience through the live show. Reading his fans perfectly, he connects the crowd through soulful ballads, uptempo dance numbers and legendary mash-ups of popular songs.
It's a listening room when Josh performs, not just background music and not only his familiar fans. You will often hear from a newcomer to the room, "Who IS this guy?" Often the audience is asking for an original song, loving and embracing Josh's authentic stories, told through beautiful lyrics and his incredibly powerful and soulful voice. And there's the guitar mastery.
Josh takes the live show seriously, making each one different and special, something he feels is his job for anyone who has shown up to support him. You can't help but feel that.

It was a full house on this beautiful central coast day and Josh had the crowd dancing to both originals and covers with his perfectly curated setlist. His brother Andrew, an accomplished sax player, guested on this show which added another dimension! Josh recorded the show from the soundboard and plans to release a live album.
