ABOUT JOSH KOONS

As a tot, when he was hoisted on the stage after the naked people had left in the musical “Hair” to dance and sing, he knew he had found his calling. Although he sang in the summers and acted in musicals, he didn’t pick up the guitar until he was thirteen. In a few moments, he wrote a song about a friend who bought a Bob Dylan record and grew up too fast. When you’re asking questions like “How many roads…”, it’s hard to stay in Cub Scouts. After struggling in New York and Boston, Josh decided to move to Austin where his luck began changing. Rocking many venues like The Continental Club, Steamboat, The Hole in the Wall, The Red-Eyed Fly, Room 710, and various other popular clubs, he began to build a following who enjoyed his head-sticking choruses and sparkling guitar leads. His songs tell stories of his life and studies in Austin. People say he’s a collector of classic automobiles but really, he only has three old cars which he tinkers with. What he does collect are old horror movies and science fiction like “The Day the Earth Stood Still” and “Forbidden Planet” and anything Star Trek…
