Introduction: THE NON-STOP HUMAN JUKEBOX
Hi!
I'm Josh.
I don't take breaks.
I know A LOT of songs.
My show is a collaboration with the audience.
I customize the playlist in real time—either by reading the room, or taking requests via text message.
Is it ok if I brag for a minute?
👉 PBS filmed FOUR of my band's live concerts ...
👉 I played guitar & drums in the Chicago production of Jersey Boys...
👉 and I toured with Million Dollar Quartet’s Brandon Bennett.
👉 I’ve played a Bat Mitzvah on a horse farm...
👉 a Christmas party at George Washington’s Mt Vernon estate...
👉 and at a private party for Hillary Clinton.
👉 I’ve played legendary venues like The Greek and Wolftrap...
👉 with world-class symphony orchestras (Nashville, Detroit, Cleveland, Utah, etc)...
👉 and I maintain a residency at the historic Drake Hotel in Chicago.
👉 I’ve been hired by Fortune 500 companies like CDW & Deloitte...
👉 I’m a preferred vendor at several country clubs & yacht clubs...
👉 and I’ve played thousands of shows in swanky rooms & seedy dive bars alike.
Enough about me.
Let’s talk about you.
You’re planning an event.
You’d like there to be music.
But it’s hard to choose.
Are these acts any good?
I'll let you in a little secret:
A lot of performers just go through the motions.
Not me.
Musical talent is useless without an emotional connection.
Which is why every show I play is a collaboration with the audience.
I love to customize the playlist in real time—either by reading the room, or by using my Text Request Line™️.
My repertoire features songs from artists like...
The Beatles, Tom Petty, Paul Simon, Elton John, The Eagles, Billy Joel, Bruce Springsteen, John Mellencamp, Hall & Oates, Sublime, Pearl Jam, Jack Johnson, The Chicks, Chris Stapleton, The Killers, Oasis, & Counting Crows.
Please ask for my full song list!
I'd love to provide a price quote for your event.
Solo acoustic is my specialty, but I also offer duos, trios, etc, all the way up to a six-piece band.
