Search - Josh Small :: Tall By Josh Small

Josh Small was born in Falls Church, Virginia on the day Mt. St. Helens erupted. Now, he would tell you that a person's perception of chaos is just as interesting and important as the chaos itself. And I would add that a person's upbringing-their collective experiences, the things they never talk about, and the songs they stomp out together on the porch-determines the landscape of a life.The wily singer with the worn-through boot soles manages to capture a traveling narrative reminiscent of the bard, the ballad of a weary lover, and the "by hook or by crook" self- indulgence of a real rock n' roller. Small learned from his father how to play music starting at the age of six, and has since fallen in love with the work of Harry Nilson and Roger Miller. He has become a versatile part of the music scene in Richmond, Virginia. He has toured with bands such as Stop It, Pink Razors, and Strike Anywhere. He's also a vital member of label mateTim Barry's touring band. Small's debut release for Suburban Home, "Tall by Josh Small" was recorded by Lance Koehler at MinimumWage Studio in the Oregon Hill neighborhood of Richmond.
