Josh Deal is a folk musician based in Fort Collins, CO. A multi instrumentalist with a focus on writing heartfelt, and honest folk music. 

I began performing, then writing and recording music in around 1969.  

In 1973 I opened a concert for Earl Scruggs and his sons along with my band at the time.  Earl said, “You boys sing real pretty.”

Through the ‘70s and part of the ‘80s I performed anywhere from a solo act mostly, as part of a duo, or a trio playing bluegrass, to a full rock band or country band.

I am a singer/songwriter/performer based out of Ft. Collins.  I have been performing in

Colorado since the 1970's. I have several CD's of original music and play regularly at

the Forge Publick House in Ft. Collins.

Originally hailing from the Missouri Ozarks, I played in a number of bands scattered across genres from around 2002-2009. After a long hiatus and a move with my family to Fort Collins, I have decided to re-enter the songwriting/performance arena. With two amazing backing musicians, I'm excited to begin sharing my musical journey with new folks again!

Friendly Reminders is a powerhouse blend of indie-folk and bluegrass music. Centered around a folk-duo with lovely harmonies and thought provoking lyrics, Friendly Reminders is supported by a revolving family of pickers and shredders alike. With an adventurous setlist, and stage banter rife with the dryest of dad jokes, FR will leave you with a sense of calm and whimsy.

The growl and purr of motorcycle engines. The patter of rain on a tin roof. The twinkle of chimes on a porch in February. The steady, insistent thrum of heartbeats. Maxwell Hughes' playing evokes all of this, and much more. At a time when too many musicians treat their instruments as simple props, he's a total original (and maybe a freedom fighter, too): an artist determined to explore the entire expressive latitude of his acoustic guitar, and to coax as many different sounds and moods from it as he can.

Frost’s passion for music is expressed in his mantra,”Music is for life”. His musical approach is based in the anticipation that one purpose of music’s is to sustain us for the duration of us. The performance experience may have the ability to restore strength and Spirit to the people through music. Frost’s intention with music to become a conduit for creativity that inspires, that breaths live into, for musical journeys and that mirror the experience of life. Music is for life, to sustain us for the durations of us.

Salomé Songbird is, at a glance, a string-band. But between its members - Ariele Macadangdang, Dr. Joy Adams, and Bryan Dubrow - their background spans fiddle tunes to free jazz; and baroque to bebop to bluegrass. As an acoustic trio, Salomé Songbird channels these influences into original songs inspired by mental health, religious trauma, and cartoons.
