Josh Rosenblum

Award winning rock guitarist creating soulful songs with popular appeal. A Modesto native, now living on the California coast, Josh is a multi-instrumentalist, writing and producing all of his records. Growing up in a musical family, Josh picked up the guitar at the age of fourteen and started performing live at sixteen. Josh grew up in a musical household saturated in jazz. His grandfather was a session trumpet player in the St. Louis area, playing with every artist that came through – including The Rat Pack and Elvis. His father followed in his footsteps, playing trumpet and passing that along to Josh and his siblings. While his mother is not a musician, she says she “plays the radio” and Josh owes his rock/pop influences to her because of it. At fourteen, he became interested in guitar and taught himself how to play. By sixteen, he was writing original music and booking live performances. Making a full-time living as a bar/lounge cover artist, in recent years Josh has gained traction as an original artist. With eight self produced studio albums and two live albums, he continues to grow his audience through the live show. Reading his fans intuitively, he connects the crowd through relatable lyrics, high-energy grooves, and soulful ballads. With the faces of new and familiar fans, it’s a listening room when Josh performs, never just background noise. Embracing his authentic stories, guitar mastery, and eccentricities, the audience requests his original music, told with conviction through beautiful lyrics and powerful voice. Josh believes every performance should be as musically spontaneous as possible while keeping the original foundation of each song alive. This assures that every show is a signature performance, keeping audiences engaged and following Josh to the next time he takes the stage. Doors at 7; show at 8 p.m.Tickets: 34, 29 & 24
