Second-Hand Musicians

Joshua Larson is a co-founder of Acoustic Philly, and a no-bones-about-it old-school folk singer with a modernist flair for lyrical lines that recall both Bob Dylan and Ryan Adams, Townes Van Zandt and Wilco. He transcends generations of influences to create his own unique style of down and out, raw, and righteous music." When joined by Dave Bernroth (guitar), Jessica Renk (vocals), Scott Macneil (bass), and Benny Corbett (drums), he heads the Secondhand Musicians".

Brendan O'Brien says: "Josh Larson: you legend!"



"Your songs are beautiful and your attitude about trying to write things apart from your heartstrings is something I think that challenges many musicians and writers, myself especially included in that subset. Ideas aren’t all that easy to come by, but when you (or me) do manage to find some we should make a huge effort to get them down on paper or recorded somewhere so as not to lose them."

Josh says" When talkin about my music I like to quote Billy Bob Thorton. " I don't give a F**k what Britney Spears thinks of my F**kin records. Or some F**k head at a record company. If there's ten people in a room and one gets my music, it's worth it." I always say that if I can sell one album to someone I dont know and they recommend it to someone else I don't know then I've made it"
