Celebrating the release of Joshua Espinosa’s debut album Americaña, a collection of songs that reflects all kinds of different types of American music, from bar room blues to bluegrass, 70s rock, 90s alternative, and even some New Orleans second line stylings.
There are sweet songs about relationships and wistful songs about getting older. But there are also raucous songs about regret, degeneracy and crushing guilt.
Tying it all together is Joshua’s way of singing about all those conditions that will at once break your heart and fire you up.
