Josh Harty with special guest Dusty Pas'cal

Josh Harty possesses a warm-sounding voice that harkens to James Taylor or Gordon Lightfoot, a guitar technique many artists can only dream of, and narrative texts taken from life. . . The sincerity of the songs shines and the subtle and beautifully detailed instrumentation ensure that you tumble right into them.

Touring across continents, Josh's unique blend of American music has become a must-hear for those who keep the tradition of country, blues and folk close to their hearts. Born and raised on the plains of North Dakota, Josh has continued the old family tradition of playing guitar. His father, both a preacher and the Police Chief of their small town, was also Harty's music mentor.

In the past decade Josh has put out three critically acclaimed albums, while touring continuously across Europe and North America, and shows no signs of slowing down. More than just moving along, he's spending plenty of time in the communities along the way, from Brooklyn to Haarlem, from London to Portland. Josh is always looking for that balance between the rolling road and the people who inspire him, trading stories around kitchen tables and theatre stages. Harty's live shows prove that good story telling combined with journeyman musicianship is as American as music gets.

"There is a dignity to (Josh's) music making that leaves us feeling enriched for the experience..." -No Depression
