Tofu Boy

Inspired by Billy Bragg, Jack White and telling the truth, Tofu Boy has a folksy punk rock sound, with catchy riffs and meaningful lyrics.

His songs have received positive critical reviews (see www.tofuboymusic.com) and center around sustainable ways of living, day-to-day life, relationships, and the positive new perspectives that travel can bring. 

He has performed at Blast n Scrap in Fort Collins each year since 2022. In 2024, he recorded and released his Blast n Scrap performance as an album on Bandcamp & Spotify.

Dedicated to his craft, Josh (Tofu Boy) has hosted the Fort Collins Songwriters' Workshop since 2021 and in doing so has written a plethora of songs, some of which are released and others performed live. Josh is passionate about sound engineering and has created and refined a surprisingly BIG sound from his minimalist "one man and one guitar" set up.

Extra excitement and novelty comes during Tofu Boy shows because he has designed a set of homemade musical instruments which he incorporates into his sets. A drum, built from a speech synthesizer, is used to add rhythm, as well as a Nintendo 2DS (always a crowd pleaser!) which becomes the pulsating foundation to his "four to the floor" songs. Some clips are available on Instagram. Creating new instruments and music-related tech from commonly available parts and recycled materials are central to Tofu Boy's passion for maker culture and alternative ways of living.
