Josiah and the Bonnevilles is a musical project led by singer-songwriter Josiah Leming. Josiah was born in Morristown, Tennessee and as a child, Josiah was fascinated by music and began playing the piano and guitar at a young age.
Josiah's musical talents became evident to his family and friends, and he began performing as a teenager catching the attention of music industry professionals. In 2010, he formed Josiah and the Bonnevilles, which presented a unique blend of Folk, Americana, and Country that draws from his roots as a true Appalachian artist, embracing honesty and putting life's realities into his songwriting.
In 2015, Josiah and the Bonnevilles released its debut album, On Trial. The album was praised for its raw, vulnerable lyrics and its combination of acoustic and electric instruments that underpinned the storytelling. The band went on tour in support of the album with the artist LP, performing at various venues across the United States and Europe.
Since the release of On Trial, Josiah and the Bonnevilles have continued to make music and tour, gaining a devoted fan base along the way. Josiah remains grounded and focused on his music. He has spoken openly about his struggles with mental health, addiction, and the music industry as a whole and uses his songwriting as a form of therapy. He continues to inspire his fans with his honesty and vulnerability, and his music has touched the hearts of people around the world.
I have waited about 10 years to see finally a Josiah show and it did not disappoint. He brings the music, the energy, the love, the honesty and the gratitude. As well, Monrovia was new to me but completely a beautiful soul and deep lyrics. Loved it all.
Josiah is a true underdog story. I am hoping this is the start of his career in music taking off after hard, false starts. As a song-writer, performer, he puts a great show and seems moved by the crowd response. This has been a long time coming for him. I appreciated him bringing in Monrovia and a woman who had covered his song to spotlight others trying to breakout in this hard industry. Whether his take on covers or crafting his own beautiful songs, I cannot recommend this artist and performance enough. You hear the emotion and heartbreak coming through. Plus, he gives his instruments equal punishment to project the intensity of his lines and the emotions. We may need to do a go-fund me to get him another Martin guitar! Go see Josiah and the Bonnevilles and listen to his music. We need to support independent artists working hard to give us well-crafted music.
Josiah is an absolute gem. His voice is unique, his energy is palpable and the lyrics are real. You can tell this man LOVES what he does and is beyond gracious about his journey. My fiancée and I’s wedding song is Basic Channels and I swear when we see him live it feels like we are the only ones in the room. His story is wonderful. I will buy tickets every time he performs at the palace because once he gets noticed and starts playing big venues I can’t afford the Fenway prices!!! I’m rooting for him and I’m stoked I’ve been able to see him at this stage in his career.
Josiah and the opener put on a great performance! Can tell them both were grateful to be there.
Josiah is a special human who has a beautiful ability to connect with the audience and share in the beauty and hardships of the human experience! He has a new fan that will catch him over and over 🙏
Josiah sounds great live. He is a super happy guy and repeatedly thanked the fans for attending the show, which was awesome. I can’t wait to see him again! 5 star experience.
Great show, super relaxed vibes. Sounds as good in person as on his recordings. 10/10 will go again!
Josiah is a gem!! Not only did he sound incredible, but he had the perfect amount of stories mixed in with his songs. He threw out some guitar picks with messages and he shook people's hands from the stage after the show. You can just tell that he is a truly genuine human, which made his incredible music that much better.
The opening act was amazing! Mon Rovia saved the night. The venue was nice, clean and organized. The headliner was a joke. Voice that sounded like Kermit the Frog. Not sure why it's called Josiah and the Bonnevilles, he was the only person on the stage. Lame, over produced music.
First time to see Josiah and the Bonnevilles and I will definitely see him the next time he swings through Houston. Thoroughly enjoyed the show, and what a great guy. He came down after the performance, talked with fans, signed autographs and took selfies -- a real sweetheart with mad songwriting and guitar skills. His choice of opening act, Mon Rovia, also knocked it outta the park. Cannot wait to see what he also brings us in the future. Altogether, it was a phenomenally good time with solid original music, genuine rapport with the audience, and memories not soon forgotten.
