You gotta love a guy who admits that karaoke served as his entrée into the world of music. But in the case of Manchester, New Hampshire native and one-man-band Josh Logan, he had good reason - his mother was a karaoke DJ. Traveling with his mother to all her gigs, Josh found himself performing on stage enough to make a serious impact on the direction of his life. Learning how to interpret songs while showing off his impressive pipes, the teen who belted out Bon Jovi would eventually graduate to musical influences as varied as punk rock, Pearl Jam and Stevie Wonder.
At the tender age of 15, he fronted the mega successful local band Gunshy, playing gigs to packed audiences until the group disbanded when he was a mere 18 years old. With some personal and familial upsets along the way, Josh found himself in trying circumstances and, like many an aspiring (and soon-to-be inspired) rocker in a difficult period, sleeping in his car for a little while.
Relating to even more types of music (rap artist Tupac Shakur was a significant voice), reflecting on his life and receiving the help of friends and family, Josh would get out of that car and back into a different driver′s seat - the music scene. Into that scene, the young man brought with him not only his god-given musical chops, but also a good deal of depth, extra musical creativity, extra soulful lyrics and extra talent. Perhaps you can learn a lot while crammed in a car.
Since then, Josh has become a popular solo artist with Josh Logan & Nobody′s Business. Not only was he named "The Hardest Working Musician in Manchester" by The Hippo Press in 2003 and awarded one of the top 100 semi finalists in the Disc Makers "Independent Northeast Songwriting Competition", he′s also rocked on stage with musicians like Dime-Bag Darrell, Vinnie Paul of Damage Plan, Tantric, and blues legend James Montgomery, and recorded a self-titled CD.
Wow. Karaoke never sounded so accomplished and in Josh′s case, meaningful.
