HomeJosh Garrels

The 34-year old singer-songwriter continues his work with folk music, symphonic orchestration and sample-based sequencing on his latest full-length album, but also distinguishes it from his past releases by incorporating the current soul sound. The album was produced in Garrels’ fan-funded home studio in his backyard in Portland, Oregon.

FIVE FACTS:

1. Garrels is known for combining traditional folk music with elements from other musical genres, as well as for his nontraditional exploration of Christian themes.

2. He is the co-founder of the record label Small Voice Records.

3. His 2011 release, Love & War & The Sea In Between, was Christianity Today’s Album of the Year.

4. In 2012, he filmed the music-documentary movie The Sea In Between with the music collective Mason Jar Music.

5. His song “Don’t Wait For Me” was featured on American Idol in January 2014.
