Josh + Bex are a dreamy acoustic folk/roots duo from the Okanagan Valley of BC. Their spellbinding harmonies and honed yet rustic sound, meet at the intersection of hope and sorrow as they intuitively and vulnerably craft songs that explore the wondrous realm of the human experience. This sonically approachable duo bring a unique synthesis of east and west coast in their warm onstage banter, performance and storytelling. Josh engages the audience, influenced by a broad lineage of eclectic song-smithing, while Bex, adds a charmingly introspective aptitude. Together they have woven their flawlessly blended harmonies into their mindful and dynamic performance—presenting a juxtaposition of pin-drop moments with intentionally arranged pockets of heartfelt intensity and jubilation.
The pair have consecutively placed in the Kelowna Now's Top 3 Local Bands/Musicians since 2018, giving them wide recognition throughout the Okanagan Valley and beyond. The duo received their festival start, after winning the local Emerging Artist contest, at the internationally acclaimed Salmon Arm Roots and Blues Festival in 2019. They had the exciting opportunity to warm up the stage with Bahama's, The Paper Kites and Billianne at Red Bird Brewing's Nest Fest '23 and have played Kelowna’s premier indie winter festival, Fireside Festival (2018, 2021, 2023). The pair also took to the Rocky Mountains, performing at the Jasper Folk Music Festival in September '23. In July and August of 2024, they graced the main stage at Saskatchewan's Napatak Ramble and opened for Jon and Roy at Red Bird Brewing. Last year they toured the lower mainland and Vancouver Island, where they performed the Cowichan Performing Arts Centre, as part of their "Stoned In Paradise" EP release tour. This February, they prepare to perform a sold out concert at the historic Mackie Lake House for their Winter Carnival.
