Needle In The Hay Spotlight: Earth to Josh

Australian multi-instrumentalist Joshua Kent, known for his Psychedelic Rock/Pop project Earth to Josh, is our latest NITH contender with his single ‘Run’

At just 22, Josh has been crafting his unique sound from his bedroom studio in Lismore, Northern NSW, and his music is a vibrant mix of late ’60s and early ’70s pop magic, drawing inspiration from legends like The Beatles and Pink Floyd, while also nodding to modern influences such as Tame Impala and Mac DeMarco.

‘Run’ is a compelling introduction to Earth to Josh’s sound, blending nostalgic psychedelia with a contemporary twist.

With a growing live presence and a burgeoning catalog, Josh is a rising star in the Australian music scene.
