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.

"This Louisiana native’s guitar playing is reminiscent of New Orleans’ own Earl King but he’s also a musical cousin to Muscle Shoals’ powerhouse Eddie Hinton. Funky and Melodic "- Kevin Gordon

A gifted native son, Josh Hyde is one of my favorite artists from Louisiana. Funky, atmospheric and soulful- Sonny Landreth
