KRCL In-Studio Performance with Joshua James

Utah-based musician, Joshua James, sits in with KRCL's Ebay Jamil Hamilton for an in-studio performance and an intimate conversation about Joshua's creative process and his upcoming album,Build Me This. Joshua James'Build Me This Salt Lake City, UT Joshua James has been writing and singing songs for only six short years, but the 25-year-old heartland poet has the perspective of a wise, old soul.

On his second album, Build Me This, the follow-up to his critically acclaimed The Sun is Always Brighter, produced by industry veteran Shannon Edgar, James expands his musical palette to foreboding doom-laden hard rock. Progressing from folkish harmonies, to country twang, world beats and southern home rock while further exploring themes of spiritual searching.

Possessing a whispery and intimate vocal style that works its way into the ear peacefully and directly, Joshua James is pitched midway between seminal influences like Bob Dylan and Neil Young.

More information about Joshua James, including his new album, Build Me This, is available on Joshua's website.
