On Friday, August 12, the 14th Annual Craft Lake City DIY Festival Presented By Harmons is proud to present a headlining performance from singer/songwriter Joshua James.
Folk artist Joshua James cut his teeth in the independent Utah music scene before becoming a prominent and consistent name in the national alternative folk and indie rock worlds. After his debut album, The Sun is Always Brighter (2008), was voted the number one folk album of the year on iTunes’ year-end list, James went on to receive acclaim from NPR, Paste, Variety and more as he held the attention of diehard folk-rock fans while always acquiring new ears through his introspective, tuneful songs. Recent years have found him collaborating with other successful folk artists such as Timmy the Teeth and Nate Pyfer and refining his indie-folk sound on his 2021 album, Forever in Life, For Now.
