Album Notes

Josh’s Connor’s new release, Leaving the High Ground, is the culmination of

more than 2 decade’s passion for music. He has been writing, performing, and

recording since he was a teenager, fired by such inspirations as the Eagles,

John Mellencamp, and Charlie Daniels. Josh’s influences, creative

involvements, and journey have spanned many musical groups and

several states, settling in 2007 on the fertile ground of the Nashville music

scene. Nashville’s rich musical heritage and its unique blend of Southern

grace and steady urban progress contrast the small Midwestern farming

communities of Josh’s youth, setting the backdrop for some particularly

poignant revelations realized in the writing of Leaving the High Ground.

Josh’s distinctive brand of heartland rock/alt-country is both personal and

extremely accessible. Each heartfelt song describes a place we’ve all been,

and the memories we’ve all held onto or left behind.
