Josh + Bex are a Monashee Mountain Folk 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. Since 2019, they have released 4 albums and have toured these albums all over Canada, performing house concerts, soft-seated theatres, and festivals. Some of their festival highlights include, Salmon Arm Roots and Blues Festival, Fireside Festival, Jasper Folk Festival, Ryga Arts Festival, Nest Fest, and, Napatak Ramble. This summer they look forward to performing at the Peace Valley Folk Festival and opening for Joel Plaskett at Live in Lake Country!
