Josh Rouse

Official Website: http://www.joshrouse.com/

Josh Rouse is a singer-songwriter born in the small town of Paxton, Nebraska. His father was in the military, which meant Josh moved to a number of places throughout the Midwest. Rouse attended Austin Peay State University, and following his time there, he eventually settled down in Tennessee, where he met some locals and began recording.

His first recordings were put to tape and eventually became his debut release, Dressed Up Like Nebraska. The release garnered critical acclaim and allowed him to be able to tour and perform full time. He has released 15 albums up to this point. His music has been featured on a variety of television shows and movie soundtracks.

His latest album, El Turista, is said to be a perfect fit with Getz/Gilberto and Paul Simon's "Graceland" if one would be so inclined to shuffle them together. Below is a free download of one of his EPs. Enjoy!
