Hailing from the Virginia Appalachians, Joshua Stack was raised in a home where there were two kinds of music: Bluegrass and White noise. The bluegrass heritage and tradition colored his understanding of music while Rock and Roll firmly entrenched itself into his expressive tastes. Years of bar gigs, club shows, and even living in Austin to do music full time eventually led him to Asheville where he landed a weekly gig almost as soon as he arrived. Josh’s work in the music industry as a philanthropist with Widespread Panic also led him to MANNA FoodBank in 2008 where he eschewed regular gigs for the fight against hunger. He’s played Bele Chere, Downtown After 5, Mo Daddy’s, Emerald Lounge, and countless venues along the eastern seaboard and between here and Austin. His songwriting is honest, straightforward, and gut punching…a lot of sound for 1 guy and a guitar.
