Biography

With pop appeal, heartland rock spirit, and All-American style, Josh Herbert magnetically attracts the spotlight. Born and raised in a suburb just north of Pittsburgh, PA, he picked up a guitar at 10-years-old and never put it down. Inspired by everyone from Bruce Springsteen and John Cafferty to Bon Iver, he dedicated his senior year at Slippery Rock University to posting covers on YouTube, quietly building an audience between shredding the ice as a college hockey sensation. During 2015, his music caught the attention of Martin Strayer who invited him to San Antonio, TX to write alongside Emily Robison of The Dixie Chicks. Galvanized by the sessions, the budding artist returned home and recorded his 2015 self-titled independent debut, Josh Herbert—which debuted in the Top 30 of the iTunes Top Singer-Songwriter Albums Chart with no traditional label or promotion. Following the release of his American Rose EP, Josh received an invite to support The Dixie Chicks on their MMXVITour in the summer of 2016, rolling through legendary venues such as Madison Square Garden.
