“Having known Josh Cleveland for over 10 years, recording this podcast at his home felt extremely comfortable. His humor, wit, and detail in songwriting are instantly present in our conversation. Together, we dive into his evolution as a songwriter, along with exploring his magical home with a long history of music creation. There’s heartfelt warmth in the emotions and stories Josh tells in his songs, and his south Minneapolis neighborhood nurtures that passion. ” - Tom Smouse
“From bluesy to soul and back to authentic acoustic ballads, Josh’s voice centers the music. His ability to shift to falsetto, like a Corvette shifts gears, is effortless and smooth.” - Tom Smouse
“I never had the voice for choir and I was a little nervous to step in front and sing because it's such a vulnerable thing to me to put your voice out there. Because what if you sing something and someone is like... well maybe you should do something else. But I just loved to sing so much that eventually, I just couldn't contain myself.” - Live from Studio A with Christine Dean
