Josh Garrels is a singer/songwriter out of Portland, Oregon. First off I am going to say that without ever being there, Portland is one of my favorite cities.. so Josh already had that going for him. The first album of his that I heard was Love & War & The Sea In Between which came out on June 15th, 2011 and is one of the greatest, well put together albums I have found in a while. The diversity of the songs on this album and the way that they are put together completely blew [...]
Track Review Cover: To write a beautiful song – lyrically & musically – is no easy feat, though often we're misled by the talents of those able to do it. Josh Garrels is one [...]
Here is a fascinating video from indie singer/songwriter, Josh Garrels of Portland, OR. The video is for the lead track, "White Owl" from his recently released album, Love & War & the Sea in Between. The album is available as a free download at NoiseTrade. The animation was created by Daniel and Arien Armstrong. Josh Garrels is a Chrisian musician but not in the obvious sense of the word. His songwriting is pensive, engaging and [...]
I have been married almost a full year now (almost) and yet I'm only half way through the reception portion of my wedding music. In lieu of that, and an impending anniversary, I thought it would be best to dump a lot more on you in one batch instead of doling out four measly tracks at a time. For those just joining these fair proceedings this is the list of songs that I played at my wedding. If you'd like to see all the posts with all of the songs posted so far simply follow the link [...]

Note to all my pandora-fiends out there... if you like mellow acoustic country-ish artists then create a station based on the artist Andrew Belle, you wont regret it. You can even tweet/message/email me and I can share my now perfected "medicinal music" station with you. As all of you clever dolls can probably tell this [...]

It's 4 in the morning and the only thing keeping me going is Josh Garrels. Arguably, doing anything at 4am apart from sleeping isn't going to be done well but I need you (if you're awake) to hear these songs. I featured one of Josh's songs earlier in the week after being tipped off by a faithful TMB reader and I'm going to feature him again just in case you missed it the first time I'm shocked that he hasn't been picked up by a label like 4AD or Rough Trade - [...]
Is it gospel? It's preachy and he definitely has vocal chords that aren't afraid to venture. I definitely hear a bit of Tracy Chapman-meets-testosterone. Wait, there's some John Butler, Harper, Alexi Murdoch ...and then I heard some free-style via white man preaching women and freedom and livin'. No, it's not Xavier Rudd...this guy speaks through his songs, not right-wing bash sessions between songs. So it's time I post on Indianapolis-based Josh Garrels . I know a few of you have told me about him in the [...]
I'm pleased to announce that my new album, Jacaranda , will be released this August of 2008. It's a full length work, measuring in with 15 new songs that will just about fill an hour your time. You can hear two of the new tracks right here on my myspace , but you'll have to wait until August to hear the rest . Excerpt from Josh Garrels's Blog. What else ? I'm not sure, it's useful to introduce Josh Garrels... Indeed, as I'm just discovering his previous full [...]

I thought it was only fair to post about a rather obscure artist I referenced during yesterday's post about Alexi Murdoch. I first met Josh Garrels back when I was trundling through school on my way to a degree in architecture. Back then {in the early 2000's} Josh was known for his intensely personal live shows that seemed to have a warmth that transcended mere musical performance. He played shows all around the Mid West and found a passionate following wherever he went, with some fans logging hours and miles in the car just to catch another [...]
