About
Redwood Son, a fresh new solo effort by Portland based singer/songwriter Josh Malm (formerly J*Malem) is gearing up to release its debut album at the start of 2011. With 2 albums under his previous moniker, “Beginnings*End” & “Live @ Mississippi Studios”, Malm truly believes this current effort is the culmination of 5 years of hard work and evolution as an artist. Although the original Band was torn apart by the tragic death of drummer Kipp Crawford, in November of 2009, Malm has not given up on the vision they shared. The group was searching for the perfect sound that could represent Malm’s childhood in the California Redwoods, with an obvious affinity for the Great NW, when they were cut unexpectedly short. “The sound has been found!” Malm says proudly.
“This music should speak to your soul, and hopefully my stories can help you find some peace within the confines of this human condition we all share in common”, says Malm. Coined as “West Coast Americana”, you can expect to hear a heavy dose of Alt. Country, Blues, Rock, and Soul. Whatever the sound, the Lyrics stand out in a big way. “Call it Folk, call it Story Telling. I don’t concern myself with labels, as long as the message is clear and the listener feels something deeper, on an emotional level”, he says.
Be on the lookout for this rising Son of the Redwoods, boasting an exciting New Album!
