Josh Garrels

He's quickly become one of my favorite artists. 

Josh is a storyteller, a lyricist, and an incredible singer/songwriter.  At times, the depths of his passion seems to reach out and touch you.


With a message in his lungs, he believes, strongly, in what he has to say, describing a story of life and love, faith and hope, disappoint and failure, and healing and freedom.  If I had to describe his music in one word, it'd be genuine.  It's honest and it's ... felt.

"It's about becoming like a child again," says Josh

Today, I ordered a copy of his latest project - a film they shot in Mayne Island, British Columbia.  I feel excited and privileged about this because it's going to bring me up close with stunning beauty and great music.  "What happens when the ever-narrowing gap between artist and audience disappears?" they ask in the film's trailer  And I'm thrilled to find out!  You can watch the trailer below.


Between the musical arrangements, warm vocals, and rare vulnerability, Josh is a special artist.  This is they type of music that should be encouraged, shared, sang, and meditated upon.  It's music like this that teaches you to appreciate life and the people we share it with.  It brings hope.  It inspires.

My personal favorite!

I hope you find this music to be as unique & special as I have.  It truly resonates deep down and calls to life that which was dead inside of me.
