JOSH HARTY has "a voice for troubled times" says The Alternate Root, who can "convey all the complexities of an emotion in a single phrase," according to No Depression.
North Dakota-raised, Wisconsin-based Americana, troubadour Josh Harty plays Monroe’s Live on Thursday April 28 as part of his current British and Irish tour in support of his new album Holding On.
Holding On has earned critical acclaim, FolkWords calling it “a profound mix of storytelling and musicianship”, while Get Ready To Rock! declared: "With a broad country ‘twang’ to his vocals and set that nicely straddles the rock/country/blues divide, Holding On – is both atmospheric and gripping, and marks him out as a contender”.
A third generation musician, son of a small town police chief and preacher, he often muses that growing up he figured he'd end up going to jail or going to hell. He chose music though and his 2008 album, A Long List of Lies, debuted at No 8 on the Euro Americana chart. Further albums were to follow, as were tours across the USA and Europe.
