Josh Cashman

Josh Cashman has found his groove.

An increasing band of followers around Australia discovered Josh's alternative folk sound and electronic textures last year through two singles Running and All About You.

Gippsland locals, however, have been following him for a lot longer, sharing his teenage journey that has brought the now 21 year old to his musical maturity.

Josh's latest single Patience dropped on Friday. It's a song about the minefield of relationships - "don't waste your patience on me 'cause I can't give you mine" - beautifully recorded and mixed with expressive vocals and moody instrumentation that takes Josh's music to a new level.

Even more than his 2015 singles, this new song holds so much promise of future greatness for Josh and many more pleasurable listening experiences for fans.

Patience can be heard and downloaded HERE, along with Running and All About You.

Josh is supporting the single with a tour, beginning with a launch at one of his favourite venues, Shebeen in Melbourne. His itinerary will include hometown gigs at Kazbah Lounge in Sale on 7 May, and Spirit Bar in Traralgon on 28 May.

The tour follows some recent packed houses at places like The Workers Club, Ding Dong Lounge and Shebeen in Melbourne and a performance at the Queenscliff Music Festival alongside artists such as Angus & Julia Stone, Hoodoo Gurus and Kate Miller-Heike.

Viewers all over the world will get to see Josh in three weeks when he appears on the online TV show Live at Spectrum. The show features artists and stories from the vibrant Gippsland music scene, streamed live on the first Sunday of each month from the Spectrum studio in Traralgon. You'll see Josh at 7.30pm on Sunday 1 May.

2016 will be busy for Josh with shows and festivals including the Nannup Music Festival in WA, as well as more singles and an EP. - Greater Gippsland

First off the ranks this year for up and coming Melbourne artist Josh Cashman is his dreamy, new single Patience. The single is only the third release for the promising muso following on from last year’s singles Running and All About You.

Cashman delivers an eclectic indie-pop soundscape with an array of layered vocals, intricate guitar, and a soft, Australian twang. Patience is nothing short of a dream with poetic lyricism like that of James Bay and Matt Corby. Sure to be an indie-pop hit in Oz, the track delivers a chorus that will activate your addiction for Cashman’s sound. Mixed by Matthew Neighbour (Matt Corby, Missy Higgins) and mastered by Adam Dempsey at Deluxe Mastering (Courtney Barnett, Sticky Fingers), the track boasts quality beyond only spanning a year.

Josh Cashman with his brooding tone and fast articulation mixed with his soothing guitar riffs and soft percussion really makes an interesting nuanced composition in his song ‘Patience’. The young musician from Melbourne with his emotion filled nature is comparable to that of Ed Sheeran. The layering in the tune really filled out the foreground and enhanced the beach-like ambience floating in the background. A beautiful tune about moving on made majestic with his falsetto-filled harmonies to end. A real stunner of a song to say the least. - Vulture Magazine
