Josie Kuhn, singer/songwriter, has been performing her
music all over the world for the last two decades and
has been called "one of the original leaders of the
Americana movement" and " a female Marty Robbins" by
more than one music critic.
From the "New Folk" revival days in the eighties that
emerged in Greenwich Village, New York where she
played Gerdes Folk City, CBGB'S, and other clubs
alongside artists like Lucinda Williams and Steve
Forbert, to Nashville, where she lives today, (when
she's not touring Europe or Mexico.) Josie's music has
been her life.
With 4 CD'S to her name, Josie has maintained a
devoted following around the world. Her first,
"Paradise" is her "countriest" CD with songs reminiscent
of Patsy Cline. "Walks with Lions" is her second,
produced by Steve Forbert is in a true folk- rock
vein. In "La Luna Loca", her third , Kuhn goes back to
New Mexico for inspiration and songs that conjure up
canyons, coyotes and moon lit mesa's. Her newest cd,
"Zihuatanejo" is a more acoustic compilation that
takes Kuhn back to her roots.
Kuhn has shared the stage with artists such as Albert Lee, (pictured above with
Josie,)
Steve Earle, the Mavericks, and Emmy lou Harris, among
others, and has toured with the late Rick Danko (of
the Band,)
Todd Snider, Steve Forbert, and Lee Clayton.She also sang on
Forbert's album ,"Young Guitar Days,
"Bebo Whitehead's CD "Someone in the next town",
and numerous artists in Nashville.
Josie's live shows will transport you from the
cantinas of Mexico, to the middle of an Indian
reservation in South Dakota, to the memories of a lost
love. She can make you think, make you cry or make you
laugh, and the melodies of the songs will stay with
you long after the curtain has closed.
