Josh Holtzclaw is a Birmingham, Alabama singer/songwriter whose music blends folk storytelling with soulful rock muscle. His songs are direct and human — the kind that sound like someone finally saying what they meant. He writes as a way of expressing himself and connecting with people who've lived through the same contradictions: gratitude and exhaustion, ambition and doubt, joy and responsibility. When he records, he aims for warmth, clarity, and emotion that doesn't need translation.
