JOSH SCHURMAN
Rhode Island native, JOSH SCHURMAN, has been a singer-guitarist for over fifty years.
He has performed in coffeehouses, clubs, and concerts throughout New England, the Midwest, and on the West Coast, pleasing audiences with his gritty and soulful vocals and deft fingerstyle guitar playing.
He draws on American country blues and folk traditions, which he has been mining since the early sixties, and is influenced by roots artists such as Robert Johnson, Mississippi John Hurt, Hank Williams, and popular icons of the sixties folk revival. His interest in folk and traditional music deepened during his time at The Folklore Institute of Indiana University.
In his solo career, Josh has shared the stage with many well-known performers, and has opened for such notables as Jim Kweskin & Geoff Muldaur and guitarist, Peppino D’Agostino.
He has played in numerous groups and was a founding member of the popular five-piece roots-rock band, BISCUIT CITY. He currently plays in the acoustic trio, GREYHOUND DREAM, known for its eclectic repertoire and unique interpretations of folk, blues and country standards, as well as pop classics.
Josh has put out two CDs out of original songs, “Only When I Laugh” (2017) and “One More Day” (2020).
He can also be heard on the soundtrack of “Woven in Time,” a documentary directed and produced by Rhode Island filmmaker Marc Levitt.
