ABOUT THIS SHOWJoshua Burnside is a Northern Irish folk singer-songwriter based in Belfast. His music incorporates elements of Irish and Scottish folk music, Americana, sound collage and electronica. RIYL: Nick Drake, Tom Waits, Elliott Smith

Joshua Burnside is an experimental folk songwriter, singer and producer. He takes influence from alternative electronica and Irish folk, chopping and blending them with a mixture of found sounds, world music and unorthodox production methods. His fourth album,<a href="https://untitled.stream/library/project/Z5oUWvVwrF1JSWLdwylLA" title="https://untitled.stream/library/project/Z5oUWvVwrF1JSWLdwylLA" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"> It’s Not Going To be Okay</a>, is an unflinching portryal of a man on the tightwire between grief and acceptance. Written in the aftermath of the tragic passing of Joshua’s close friend Dean Jendoubi, the album navigates the twisting, jagged road of Joshua’s recovery, told through a meoidum of stripped back finger picking, raw and brutal lyricism and his signature expiremtnal production.Following an award-winning<a href="https://open.spotify.com/album/6ckh3U2IE879CgHJMSlqZ6?si=xPNODG-ZRyiqi6luBvjpRw" title="https://open.spotify.com/album/6ckh3U2IE879CgHJMSlqZ6?si=xPNODG-ZRyiqi6luBvjpRw" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"> debut album</a> and an acclaimed<a href="https://open.spotify.com/album/7BMZsEBUvcUTxTjnhXbl9c?si=DGFG7GiOTiqIE_0D7QUyEw" title="https://open.spotify.com/album/7BMZsEBUvcUTxTjnhXbl9c?si=DGFG7GiOTiqIE_0D7QUyEw" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"> follow-up</a> released during the height of the global pandemic, his music lives against the grain, in both style and spirit. Raised in the north of Ireland between the lush drumlins and hills of Strangford Lough, and the narrow entries and alleyways of East Belfast, Joshua’s music has defined and defied the post-conflict society of his home. <a href="https://open.spotify.com/album/1bYkAWTpeUTY8k78eXkaFn" title="https://open.spotify.com/album/1bYkAWTpeUTY8k78eXkaFn" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">His third album</a> takes in the economics of existence, family, trauma and renewal, while set against a backdrop of tense electronica and lush Irish folk and traditional songwriting, Joshua has entrenched himself within the fabric of the modern folk canon, alongside the likes of Bon Iver, Lankum and Richard Dawson. While his award-winning first album Ephrata took in lush landscapes, technological horrors, night terrors and wistful Columbian vistas (set against a bed of Irish folk, cumbia rhythms, and electronica), his critically acclaimed second Into The Depths Of Hell, took a far darker approach. Melding swirls of clanging metallic found sounds, alt-rock, and Irish songwriting traditions were supported by UK and US national radio and international tastemakers NPR, Guitar Magazine, CLASH, The Guardian, The Times and more.<a href="https://www.instagram.com/joshuaburnside/?hl=en" title="https://www.instagram.com/joshuaburnside/?hl=en" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Learn more about Joshua Burnside here.</a>
