So for those of you who don't know, Joshua has always been musically inclined. Music has always been a huge part of his life and ever since I have known him he has either been playing his Violin or singing with his guitar. I remember when Josh was the lead singer of the band "Kayotik" back in our High School days. I would sit back and wonder how this violinist by day could completely transform himself to jumping around in full costume, screaming his way through the music come night time. He has always been so diverse when it comes to music and that is one of the things I love about him! I will say his music has most definitely evolved over the years and now I would have to say with certainty that my parents would enjoy his work.
Since we have moved to Houston, about three years ago, he has become interested in making and recording his own music. Most of you may not know but this hobby can be very expensive and all I have to say is, it can take up ALOT of room! We have had our disagreements about what is necessary and how to keep "the man room" organized but the truth is, Music is what makes him happy. So I have come to realize that this is just part of Josh and as compulsive as I am about organizing and decorating I am better off just leaving his "man room" alone!
Recently, Josh has expressed his interest in playing with a Band again. I can tell that there is a huge part of him that misses the thrill of performing for others. So, he set out to look for bands in the Houston area that needed a base player (I forgot to mention he plays the base as well). This summer he dabbled around with different groups but none of them really turned out to fit his style, until recently. He came home after his first practice and it was pretty obvious he had found what he was looking for. The band is called the Southern Backtones and I must say they rock!
Since his first practice he has already played a few gigs at some local Houston venues including a cafe that is just walking distance from our house. I have posted some pictures of him and the band at recent appearances in Houston this August along with pictures of Josh's groupies (myself & our friends). It's tough being the wife of a "Rock Star"! =)
