A note about this tour, from Josh:"I was thinking back to some of my
favorite concerts over the years, and I realized how many took place
in spaces that were special in their own right. Cathedrals,
synagogues, strange and storied theaters, each bring a special kind of
glow to the performance.
I was also feeling the urge to play some of my quieter, more narrative
songs that I may not always get the chance to perform during larger
rock shows.
So I decided to put together a tour that would allow me to play these
songs, and some new ones that I’ve been writing, in some of these
beautiful spaces. I decided to call the tour “A Book of Gold Thrown
Open."
I'll mainly be solo, but it’ll be a fun chance to have a few special
guests and accompaniment. And most of all, I’m looking forward to
singing these songs.
I hope you can make it! Rock on, and thank you.
