The Story So Far…
My given name is Joshua Kirk. Most of my musical life was spent as a lead guitarist heavily influenced by Rock music of the 70's, 80's, and early 90's. I had always written original music, but had been inactive for almost a decade until 2020.
With idle hands during the shutdown I began to write & sing earnestly. However, it wasn't until 2023 that I began playing more bass & piano. With the help of a producer & friend (Shannon McArthur) I learned home recording and production.
Thus, I have written & "self-produced" 12 songs. They are contained in 2 EP's entitled SONGBOOK : Volume I & II. I played all of the instruments with help on live drums, percussion, and drum programming on some of the tracks.
I continue to learn, write, and record. I run a small business, have a wonderful wife, one adult child, 3 younger children, a dog, a cat and live in St. Augustine, FL. I am originally from Baltimore, MD.
STRENGTH THROUGH MUSIC
Born on 1 / 9 / 197X I soon began a struggle against circumstances, willful denial, and internal conflict. Today, I am grateful for this fight. It has ultimately brought me to place of unconditional love & acceptance. Though I may lyrically ponder the beyond and lament being lost – the music always brings me back to a place of faith and strength. I hope that it does the same for you.
PURE HUMAN
The emotional and spiritual connection that songwriting and performing provides me IS my goal. I am grateful for a song once it is completed – but more so for the blood, sweat, tears, and joy it took to get there.
