In the heart of the mid-west lies a small town called Republic; within that small town dwells an even smaller house with an impressively large tree in the front yard. This is where Josh Stewart spends his evenings and nights writing and composing whimsical lullabies and heart-felt love songs about life and the pursuit of happiness. Brought out of obscurity and into the lime-light via an MTV reality show, Josh has been able to share his music on a much larger stage than he ever intended. Garnering multiple live performances on MTV, including a New Year's special in 2009, Josh has sold nearly 3,000 copies of his initial release, "The Bright Balloon Sessions"; all the while, remaining an independent artist. Josh is currently in the studio working on his sophomore release, "Songs for Jude" inspired by the recent birth of his son, Jude. The soft spoken crooner has a distinctive voice and playing style that has drawn comparisons to the likes of Jack Johnson and Damien Rice. There's something unique about a humble kid from the mid-west with a plethora of talent and the world at his fingertips... and that's just what this 24 year old musician is.
