Seeking: Label, Film/TV Placement
Style: Singer-Songwriter

Classic singer-songwriter vibes come from Joshua Path, who follows a tried and true structure: delicate, intimate intro (just voice and guitar) that leads to a band joining in, which on “Sniper In The Clocktower of Heaven” includes some nice twangy echoes of a pedal steel. Path’s songs are succinct, and his subject matter is serious throughout. On “Maybe” he’s looking for a salve to ease his troubled mind (“make the pain go away”).  His quietest song, “Hi,” depicts a suffering soul who’s looking for a smile from the universe in his search for happiness.  The song’s soothing vibe is conveyed by a noodling guitar and gentle percussion. Well-produced, this artist’s recordings could be a good fit for a serious film or TV project.
