Praised for his “spare and easy sounding guitar songs” by NPR, Rouse first emerged in 1998 with his debut album, Dressed Up Like Nebraska, which Billboard called a “dark horse gem.” Over the next two decades, he released a steady stream of critically lauded records that solidified his status as one of his generation’s most acclaimed songwriters. Rouse traded in his trusty acoustic guitar for a synthesizer, a move that quickly pulled him in a slew of exciting, unexpected directions. The end result, Love In the Modern Age, is an album that still bears Rouse’s distinct fingerprints, even as it pushes his limits and forges a bold new chapter more than 20 years into his celebrated career.

This show will be an intimate solo performance by Josh Rouse.

Josh Rouse recorded his debut Dressed Like Nebraska in 1998. The album’s acclaim led to tours with Aimee Mann, Mark Etzel, and the late Vic Chestnut. The followup – Home (2000) – yielded the song “Directions” which Cameron Crowe used in his film Vanilla Sky.
In 2014, he won a Goya Award (the Spanish equivalent of an Oscar) for best song for “Do You Really Want To Be In Love,” from the film La Gran Familia Española.
