Born in Baton Rouge, Josh Hyde was barely seven years old when his family moved to New Orleans for a time. By that time, he had also already written his first song. At 11 years old, Hyde penned "Mississippi Bridge," a deeply personal highlight about riding the bus to visit his father every 2 weeks. As a teenager, he became surrounded by "The Blues" in the Baton Rouge music scene. Playing at Tabby's Blues Box he got to meet The Neal Brothers, Tabby Thomas, and Silas Hogan.
