Joshua James

Folk singer Joshua James has only been writing songs for six years, but the 25 year-old Midwesterner bears the weight of wisdom beyond his years. With maturely intimate songwriting and a style encompassing folk, country, world beat, and southern rock, James' debut album, 2008's The Sun Is Always Brighter, reached #1 on the iTunes Folk chart and elicited praise from critics as some of the best recent work to come from an unknown artist. After touring with the likes of John Mayer, David Gray, and Ani DiFranco, James released Build Me This in 2009 to even greater critical acclaim.
