Josh Daniel Music

Daniel is a North Carolina singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist whose passion and enthusiasm are evident every time he takes the stage. Daniel describes his sound as “Rock n Roll” but it’s much broader than that… Josh is able to mold his influences in to a unique sound that is entirely his own.

Blending rock n roll with bluegrass, funk and soul music with a reggae backbeat, you never know which way he will lead the crowd. He has performed hundreds of live shows and released a catalog of music with his critically acclaimed band The New Familiars, as well as on his own including the album of Originals Titled “Home.”
Most recently charting at number 8 in the Pollstar LiveStreaming Charts for 2020 with his solo “Quarantine Sessions” that began during the pandemic and continued everyday for 365 days. Even appearing in an interview on the syndicated television show hosted by Kelly Clarkson last month.

Josh’s repertoire is stunning, from Madonna to Nirvana— and has about 1,000 different songs along with countless original compositions in his catalog, which range from complex bluegrass instrumentals to full blown pop classics.

Josh has performed at many national events (MerleFest, FloydFest, Bristol Rhythm & Roots) and along the way has had the privilege of sharing the stage with some legendary musicians like his friend John Cowan (Doobie Brothers) as well as some monsters of bluegrass (Sam Bush, Ronnie Mccoury, Danny Barnes, Mike Marshall).

Looking forward to getting back on the stage this season.
