Hello all, 

     I'm pleased to let you know that the band I will soon start work on a new album.  To those of you who have already heard "The Distance" and "I Wish It Would Rain", I'll let you know this will be another different style of record with the same focus on meaningful lyrics and music.  To those who haven't, they are available in the music section at www.joshuaingram.com I've grown, over the years, as a writer and every time I start a new project the same feelings of excitement and worry return so I'm getting ready to take this on big time.  I've also learned much about what to do and what not to do in the studio so hopefully this will be my truest and most successful album yet.  

     I'm sorting between about 20 songs to figure out which ones I want to include on the record and wondered if any of you would like to have some input into the choosing.  Over the next few weeks I'll upload demos of the songs to a hidden page here on the site and will be able to share a link to that page with anyone who wants to vote for their favorites.  Just comment here and I'll keep a running list of everyone who wants to help.  It just means that you'll get to hear demos of the songs before we even take them into the studio.  If this sounds like fun to you, let me know.

     As always I'll be updating the shows here on the website and on social media so stay tuned for the latest.  Watch for:

• more how and why videos on youtube
• updates on the new album
• new T-shirts and other merchandise
• and more information on the adventures of Joshua Ingram

See you at a show soon!

Hello everyone! 

I have three shows this week and possibly a fourth so check the social media and calendar on the web site.  Links to all the social media are also on the website so pick you're favorite! 

I'll be working on the youtube channel over the next few weeks with what I think will be some un new content like: 

my favorite cover songs 

songs from other DFW artists 

stories about songs I've written 

new songs that will be on the next record 

Thanks for staying connected and for sharing with your friends.  See you at a show sometime soon!

I've decided to do a new series on my YouTube channel that I'm calling "How and Why".  In each episode I'll take one of my songs and explain the meaning behind it or the inspiration for it.  After I play the song live, I'll also pull back the curtain on some of the fun or interesting stories or production decisions made in studio.  I hope it will be something fun for those of you who have been singing the songs for years and something you might like to share with your friends.

I don't know how often I'll be posting them but please check out the first episode and let me know what you think. Thanks for the support and I hope to see you at a show soon!

I have just released the newest single called See. It's an emotional waltz dealing with finding love in a place you thought you'd looked before. This one is completely self produced with the input of some trusted friends. It's the first installment of what I plan to be a new release every couple of months. Please give it a listen and if you like it, share it with your friends, add it to your Spotify play list, come hear it live!  As always the calendar is at www.joshuaingram.com as well as information on what will be happening with the band as we move forward. Thanks for your support and I hope you dig the new single!

Hello all,

A couple of weeks ago I attended the NAMM convention in Anaheim, CA.  I didn't know what to expect but one of the guys I went with said it's like the world's biggest Guitar Center.  Man, that was one, very undersold, way to describe it.  The entire Anaheim Convention Center (over 800,000 square feet) was full of booths offering equipment.  Every horn, guitar, keyboard, drum maker, every speaker, light, stand, and mic maker had a booth and wanted to show off their product.  It took a long while to work my way through the deluge.

I have been looking for a new vocal mic for awhile but haven't been able to find one that I really, really liked.  I tried lots that were ok but didn't seem good enough to justify spending the money when I had plenty of mics I could use already.  I've been on this hunt for a new mic ever since I dropped my favorite one in the pond at Gas Monkey Bar and Grill.  That was a sad day-I'm about to tell you about an awesome day.

Back at the convention, there are two hotels located right at the heart of it.  That meant there was space for live music and of course, the hotel bar.  One night at one of the bars I met a guy named Derek and found out he was working one of the booths at the convention.  He bought me a beer and we started to talk about Heil microphones.  I hadn't heard of the brand before but said I would stop by the booth in the morning,  Man, I was not prepared for what would happen.

The next day I made my way to the Heil booth,  Derek and I were both a little groggy from having staying out so late the night before but that didn't stop us.  They had a nice display and he played a couple of promotional videos for me.  I found out that Jakob Dylan uses a Heil PR35 and his sound man says that since Jakob likes to get really close to the mic its a god fit cause it doesn't lose clarity even when you're close.  I wanted to demo the PR35 because I also like to get really close to the mic.

Y'all, I put the headphones one and said "check, one, two,..." and by the time I got to "three" my credit card was already out.  It was the sweetest, clearest sounding mic I'd ever heard.  I bought it on the spot and had them ship it to me.  I've used it three or four times now and it's just incredible.  The loud notes are clearer, I can sing quiet notes because you can now hear them, and it doesn't feedback, like not at all.  If you need a mic, check into Heil Sound.  If you want to hear me sound better than I ever have, check out the show calendar.

I’ll be in California this weekend for the NAAM convention. I’ve never been before but I’m attend on the suggestion of my friend Dan Quinn. I’ll let you know how it goes. Stay tuned or check Facebook, Instagram, and twitter for updates.
