Thomas is a bit of a maverick: a songwriter, composer, writer and actor (and co-creator of the popular Minnesota Public Radio live show Take It With You). When the two come together, their years of friendship and experience shine in a way you can only see when two extraordinary artists have traveled together, gone through the joys and heartbreaks together, have yelled and screamed at each other, and have broken down by the side of the road more times than you can count. You can see their story before they even strike the first chord. They are songwriters who are never going to quit.
“The Attic Session”, an album that was recorded over one day in Blake’s attic in Minneapolis, Minnesota, is set to be released in the UK and Europe in 2020 in conjunction with Josh & Blakes first co-tour of the UK set to begin April 24th. Tour dates available here! “The Attic Session is a totally live and acoustic recording featuring songs by both Josh & Blake recorded with no overdubs.

Josh Harty Press Quotes:
-Paul Jackson FATEA

-Ian Patience, Elmore Magazine
