Биография

Josh Geffin has taken a variety of musical routes in recent years - from the jazzed-up traditional folk songs of 'Rocks Of Bawn' to the meditative instrumental country of 'Hum & Glow' and the heart-on-sleeve ballads of 2020 EP ‘Islands’ (Culture Recordings). Latest EP ‘Hold On To The Light’, funded and released in association with Help Musicians, was released on Pear O'Legs Records in 2022. Written during lockdown, the EP explores themes of displacement, polarisation and hope. Geffin's trademark fingerpicking guitar style meets alt-rock and country influences, featuring vocals from Victoria Hume and Antony Hurley, drums by Karl Penney and production by Grammy-nominated Sonny Johns. 
Born in London and raised in rural Dorset, Josh cut his teeth at the festivals of the South West with band Roads, going on to release acclaimed records and play to audiences around the UK and abroad. His virtuosic fingerstyle guitar playing melds the pastoral beauty of folk perennials Nick Drake, John Martyn and Bert Jansch with the songwriting sensibilities of contemporaries like Bon Iver and Bonny Light Horseman. Josh’s music has been described as “masterful” by Fresh On The Net and “a welcome and sensitive breath of fresh folk air” by folk singer Sam Lee. ‘Hold On To The Light' received airplay on BBC London ("such a beautiful track") and praise from Amazing Radio, Americana UK and Folk Radio ("filled with delicate nuances").
