Josh, Fansite Offering Up "Backstage Recordings"

February 16, 2007. Here's something reeeeeally cool (at least I think so; I don't know of many other artists - if any - doing something like this)...

While on his current tour, Josh has been posting blogs from the road - often with photos. They're great personal, educational (!), and informative entries from Josh.

But now he's posting something else from backstage - or the tour van - or his hotel room: SONGS.

While finishing up this amazing Solo Acoustic Tour, Josh will be passing along some home-made recordings he's doing with the wonderful artists that are supporting him during these concerts. And with a little help from the Fansite, we the fans get to listen.

Introducing Backstage Recordings, a unique addition to his Blog and awesome treat for us fans. Josh has already recorded and posted two songs - along with his comments about them. Stop over and have a listen to these special offerings, and be sure to check back for more addtions!

Hope you enjoy 'em...
