Josh T. Pearson (US)

 

Texas native Josh T. Pearson was once the frontman for the much missed group Lift to Experience, with whom he released just a single, legendary album, The Texas-Jerusalem Crossroads. He’s been performing alone for almost a decade, but he hasn’t seemed too eager to record: his first solo album, Last of the Country Gentlemen – a true folk diamond released on Mute Records – was recorded just last year, when the singer found himself living in Berlin. “These are less songs, more open wounds,” notices one Mojo reviewer. This is gearing up to be a show for audiences that aren’t ashamed or afraid of their emotions.
