Information about Josh Rouse

Josh Rouse (born 1972) is an American folk/roots pop singer-songwriter.

Biography

Born in Nebraska, he moved to various places in the Midwest during his childhood due to his father's military occupation. Following his time at Austin Peay State University, he eventually settled down in Tennessee, where he met some local musicians and began recording.

The initial recordings he put to tape eventually became his debut release, Dressed Up Like Nebraska. Released to critical acclaim, it allowed him to tour and begin performing full time, eventually releasing a second album, Home, in 2000. His songs would later be featured on a variety of television shows and movie soundtracks.

In 2001, Rouse released Under Cold Blue Stars, his first for Rykodisc. Following a tour with Guster, he would release another album, 1972. A concept album of sorts, in the style of songwriters from the time of his birth, it was released in 2003. In 2005, he released Nashville, which featured the single "Winter in the Hamptons". In 2006, his latest album, Subtítulo, was released, which corresponded with his move to Spain.

Along with his normal full-length albums, Rouse occasionally releases EPs featuring demos and alternate takes on his personal Bedroom Classics label. The volumes are usually limited to small numbers in release, and for sale only through his website or at live performances. In 2007, Rouse released a duet EP with Paz Suay under the moniker She's Spanish, I'm American.

Rouse opened for John Mayer on a string of dates from January 25 to February 3 for Mayer's winter 2007 tour.[1]

A new album, Country Mouse City House, was released July 2007. This will follow with a tour of the US in September and October. A European tour will take place in November and December. [2]
