A story behind the songs...🌳🎶✨
Josiah and the Bonnevilles is led by Appalachian singer-songwriter Josiah Leming, amassing attention from millions and selling out shows across the globe, and the 'Redline' stops right here in Glasgow, Kentucky TONIGHT! ✨
Josiah's newest album As Is, produced by Konrad Snyder (Noah Kahan, Ben Rector) and Leming features co-writes with Marc Scibilia, Colin Pastore, Jake Finch, Natalie Hemby, and more. 🎶

“It was important to me that the album sound different, but not so different that people don’t recognize it,” Leming told The Bluegrass Situation. “That was actually a pretty tough thing to do, because it’s easy to change things and really turn them on their head, but to have it still feel like it came from the music that came before it was something I thought a lot about.”
A proud native of Morristown, Tennessee, and now living in Nashville, Leming caught up with BGS to talk about how he picked up the banjo, the positive results of listening to Ralph Stanley, and how Jack Reacher helped him define his relationship with his fans. 🪕
"That took me 30 or 40 songs to write out all of 'that stuff,' to get to where I could look a little deeper for the meaning and the songs that somebody would understand if they weren’t a touring musician. That was the ultimate goal for me with the record, to make something where people don’t think about me when they listen to it.
They can maybe just put it on in the garage. When I put on Ralph Stanley or AC/DC in the garage, I don’t think about Angus Young or Malcolm Young or Brian Johnson. I think, “Damn, this is an awesome day. This is a soundtrack to my life.” And I hope I have done that somewhere on this album.” 💫
