APOLOGIES THE DATE FOR THIS EVENT WAS TOTALLY WRONG 

Joshua Burnside is an experimental folk songwriter, singer and

producer. He takes influence from alternative electronica and Irish

folk, chopping and blending them with a mixture of found sounds,

world music and unorthodox production methods.

Following an award-winning debut album and an acclaimed

follow-up released during the height of the global pandemic, his

music lives against the grain, in both style and spirit. Raised in

the north of Ireland between the lush drumlins and hills of

Strangford Lough, and the narrow entries and alleyways of East

Belfast, Joshua’s music has defined and defied the post-conflict

society of his home.

Taking in the economics of existence, family, trauma and renewal,

while set against a backdrop of tense electronica and lush Irish

folk and traditional songwriting, Joshua has entrenched himself

within the fabric of the modern folk canon, alongside the likes of

Bon Iver, Ben Howard and Sufjan Stevens.

While his award-winning first album Ephrata took in lush

landscapes, technological horrors, night terrors and wistful

Columbian vistas (set against a bed of Irish folk, cumbia rhythms,

and electronica), his critically acclaimed second Into The Depths

Of Hell, took a far darker approach. Melding swirls of clanging

metallic found sounds, alt-rock, and Irish songwriting traditions

were supported by UK and US national radio and international

tastemakers NPR, Guitar Magazine, CLASH, The Guardian, The

Times and more.

His third album, Teeth Of Time, sits comfortably and

confrontationally between the alt-folk realms of Bon Iver and

Sufjan Stevens while retaining the indie singer-songwriter and

traditional folk elements of Josh's signature songwriting.
