Introducing: Josh Wilson!

Here at illuminated, we get really excited about new music and new artists. Granted, Josh Wilson isn't really new - he released 2 albums on an independent label in 2004 and 2006 before releasing another 4 under the established Sparrow Records label from 2008 to 2010.

However, his lucky break came on 3 Jan 2010. While waiting out security delays at Newark Liberty International Airport, Josh decided to entertain his fellow passengers so he took out his guitar and started playing the Beatles' Hey Jude while the crowd sang along.

Someone took a video of it, posted it on youtube and the rest, as they say, is history:




Here's a track from his 2008 album Trying to Fit the Ocean in a Cup, the brilliantly written song Saviour Please:




His amazing musicianship coupled with honest, straightforward lyrics make him an artist to watch!

Here's hoping that our friends at theGlow will bring in some of his music, because right now, we're really loving us some Josh Wilson!
