Biography
Kinley is the solo moniker for Saskatchewan-based folk singer/songwriter Josh Docksteader. His upcoming debut album fair hero is a perfect blend of deep, imaginative poetry and solid, heart warming melodies. With instrumentation ranging from that of acoustic guitar, piano, electric guitar, banjo, keyboards, and harmonicas; this album will be worth paying attention to.
Josh hails all the way from Prince Edward Island, where his love for music and poetry began. Over the past few years, Josh has been developing his music and has been involved in presenting his songs at a variety of venues and fundraisers, and has been featured alongside fellow Saskatchewan artists Andy Shauf, Meghan Bowman, and Tripmeter, to name a few.
Strongly influenced by songwriters such at Bahamas’ Afie Jurvanen, Bob Dylan, and Jon Foreman (to name a few) Josh’s easy-going nature and soft voice will pull in listeners, and they will not leave without feeling calmed by his music, yet intrigued and challenged by his lyrics. It is the perfect music for the coffee-shop/house show atmosphere. Kinley’s music will draw in several generations of music enthusiasts, as well as provide the unfamiliar listener a space to be introduced to Josh’s comforting acoustic style.
There is much to be expected from this dream-driven melodist. You won’t want to miss out on what Kinley has to offer.
