"Crossing the boundaries between what we think of as americana, roots and rock music, Singleton joins that band of songwriters whose music belongs in stadiums. Singleton sings like his life depends on it, and he provides the music that made me want to do this gig in the first place." ~ Phil Edwards, Americana UK
Singer songwriter Joshua Singleton explodes the americana genre with high value tunes that blend roots rock, blues, country, and soul into something that’s entirely his own.
Based in Asheville, North Carolina, Singleton is an outstanding vocalist, songwriter, and guitarist. He’s one of those rare performers who intuitively blur the lines between his influences. He shifts easily from rock to funk to acoustic songs in the same set, painting space with all the colors American music has to offer. His 3rd album, "The Promised Lan", drops in Europe in 2025, but a quick spin of his last release, "King Of Hearts", proves Singleton has what it takes to move any crowd in the world.
With a preacher for a father and a songwriter for a mom, Singleton was singing in church early on. He was gigging with a rockabilly band by age 12 and was a touring musician by the time he was in college. He has hit the road in the US, the UK, France and Sweden with his own bands and with Big Joe Turner & The Memphis Blues Caravan, Xavier Pillac, and Boogie Leg. Singleton has also led the Nashville life. He moved to Music City in 2017, and quickly signed a publishing deal. He spent 3 years there writing country songs and scored cuts with artists like Bree Doster, Jason Nix and Kolby Cooper, to name a few.
Singleton today is a seasoned solo artist with a nuanced style that’s both expressive and accessible. His songs are about life, love, and experience and connect deeply with his listeners. Once his new album comes out, Joshua will tour in the UK and France, bringing the music to the people. Joshua Singleton is undoubtedly on the verge of a creative and commercial breakthrough. Savvy fans of top tier American songwriters need to hear him today and become part of what’s about to happen.
