Josh Hodges is a self-taught indie musician, born and raised in Portland, Oregon. He is a humble guy with a prolific songwriting habit. Not since Elliot Smith has Portland given rise to such a talented indie balladeer. And for Hodges, melody is just as important as lyrics, both of which blend effortlessly into his signature songs.

Josh began his music career early, giving imaginary piano concerts in his home as a child. He started a psychedelic punk band while attending an alternative arts high school in Portland, and he has been playing music and writing songs at the rate of at least one song a week ever since. Josh has been fine-tuning his craft in recent years by playing with bands up and down the East and West coasts, finding temporal home bases in Portland and Brooklyn, N.Y. He creates his modest rock single-handedly at home, using a computer donated by friends to build each song track-by-track – but his audience no longer is imaginary.
