PRESS RELEASE:
Recently relocated to Los Angeles after a successful few years in Denver, CO, singer-songwriter Josh Allan brings his own unique "acoustic indie pop" to California.

Josh Allan left Colorado on a high note, culminating in his shows opening for Epic recording artists The Fray -- "Over My Head (Cable Car)" -- and Mat Kearney (Columbia Records) to capacity crowds at The Belly Up in Aspen and Club 8150 in Vail.

Josh released his first independent CD "All The Acoustic Pop You Can Drink" in November 2004, signed on with the national management firm Big Mountain Productions in the Fall of 2005, and is readying his second independent CD release, "The Let Go."

Josh Allan's music is characterized by passionate vocals, distinctive piano melodies, and precise acoustic guitar riffs, citing such influences as Ben Folds, John Mayer, and Billy Joel. He has performed in venues from Denver to Detroit to Boston; had his song "Morning Show" featured on the soundtrack of an Elysian Pictures film; is a regular on XM Satellite Radio's Unsigned Channel 43, and has been featured in a variety of Colorado radio interviews and programs. His current single, "Something About You" is being played on radio, including the syndicated Colorado Wave.

"Josh Allan is one of those few individuals with that elusive gift as a musician: the ability to speak to the heart, soul, and human condition with a lyrical and musical style that breaks through today's often soulless compositions." - C. J. Armstrong, Filmmaker, Elysian Pictures, Los Angeles

"Josh Allan combines solid pop-sensibilities with lyrical stories, delivering a smart freshman project and a very promising career." - Byron "Ron" Harrell, Program Director, ABC Radio, Detroit

"The mission of the singer-songwriter has always been to convey a story through mind sketches. Josh Allan not only accepts the challenge, he embraces it, and brings back a crucial element that seems to have been missing from other performers lately: he truly feels the story within the song. Let others produce disposable pablum for the mindless masses; Josh is a creator of tales that stake out a place in your soul and ask to be re-told over and over again." - Dom Testa, Morning Show Personality, Mix 100.3 FM, Denver

"It would be so easy to state the obvious influences in this young man's music... but go to the introspectively beautiful, and beautifully picked, 'Vineyard Sky' and you hear older, deeper whispers of James 'Sweet Baby James' Taylor and Kenny Loggins when he was teamed with the equally gifted Jimmy Messina, or the wonderfully crafted organic pop of Seals & Crofts... Josh gets it... this debut is a nice way to say hello." - Chris K., Artist Booking and Promotions, HapiSkratch Entertainment, Fort Collins, Colorado

"After reviewing literally thousands of albums by indie artists, the one thing that really stands out in my mind is that it is a rare bird who can produce a CD that makes you want to listen to the whole CD again and again. Get a copy of Josh Allan's CD and drink up. Refreshing. Creative. Happening. That's All The Acoustic Pop You Can Drink." - Carmen Allgood, Producer, The Colorado Wave
