Josh Preston

Maybe it stemmed from a simple creative slump or possibly a culmination of an overwrought musical education and being raised on records meant for listeners twice his age. Whatever the reason, when Josh Preston laid down his loud electric guitar and picked up an acoustic guitar, it all clicked into place. It quickly becomes apparent that Josh's musical exploration blossomed into songs containing thought provoking lyricism and melodies that rapidly bury themselves in the sub-conscience.

The road to playing solo was preceded by side-man gigs up and down the East Coast with a final stint in New York City as a guitarist for singer-songwriter Aaron Brotherton (leading to a performance with Aaron at Farm Aid 2003). While in NYC, Josh began recording his first solo release. Writing, recording and touring are now a significant part of Josh's everyday life. His recent release Exit Sounds, containing "Safety Feels The Exit," is full of image-laden gems that border on slight poetic insanity.
