Josh Morningstar is an artist that gives everything to his art-Van Gogh cut off his ear for his muse; Morningstar cuts out pieces of himself, examines it through the eyes of a humorist with a sense of Shakespearean tragedy, and gives it to the world in three-and-a-half minute sonnets that can make you cry tears of laughter and anguish at the same time. At the same time, his sound has a bit more âtwangâ than most folk music fans are accustomed to. Itâs this live show-full of pain, laughter, reality, good times and bad-that has earned Josh Morningstar opening spots for a veritable âwhoâs whoâ of country and folk music these days.
