Listen Later

With no management, publishing or record support to speak of, singer/songwriter Josh

Savage has blazed a bright trail through the music industry, which should serve as a

beacon to any musician looking to make a name for themselves in the unrecognisable

21st Century landscape. "The most promising new young artist to emerge in Winchester

in years" has built a loyal fanbase one living room at a time, and his sprawling career has

seen him supporting acts as diverse as Razorlight, Rizzle Kicks, Reverend and the

Makers, Roll Deep, and even some acts with names that don’t begin with ‘R’ such as

Benjamin Francis Leftwich, John Hiatt, Catfish & The Bottlemen & Ward Thomas.

There is a film about Josh Savage. In 2015, Josh played 79 shows in 5 months with

Sofar Sounds and in people's homes across America and Europe (including the famous

SXSW festival). ‘The Living Room Tour’ documentary can be streamed here

BBC 6 music and accumulated over 1.5 million plays on Spotify without PR

representation. 'Spaces' EP hit #28 and 'Whisper In The Snow' made the top 20 in the

iTunes singer/songwriter charts. 'Whisper In The Snow' was aired on Dermot O'Leary's

BBC Radio 2 show by Jo Whiley.
