Description

For working musician, Josh Daniel, the year 2020 looked to be the most promising to date. When the Covid19 pandemic hit in March of 2020, music venues shut their doors, and his calendar was wiped clean. The singer-songwriter took to his Facebook page and pledged to his fans to play live on Facebook every day until the pandemic ended. Daniel thought life as we knew it would resume in six to eight weeks, but as the shutdown continued, he kept his word and signed on to play every single day. There was no elaborate production team; the show was just Daniel, with an iPhone and his guitar, playing music that can best be described as a soup of roots rock, bluegrass, and soul. Dedicated fans of his Wilco-like sound began to share his live feed, and soon, a community of several thousand followers was born. Josh Daniel fans dubbed themselves, “The Jamily.” By the time Daniel approached 300 consecutive, live shows, he had earned Pollstar’s #8 live-streaming artist of the year, garnered a call from Kelly Clarkson with an invitation to appear on her show, and drew the attention of The New York Times. Playing music every day has solidified Daniel’s performance chops and increased his live performance catalog tenfold, including the release of his single entitled, “Live Long Days.” As for the future, when the world opens up again, Daniel plans to regularly release new material and take the show on the road. He hopes to meet a lot of The Jamily, who have now become like extended family. Daniel says, “I’m going to take them with me everywhere I go. It’s a big world out there and we have a lot of love to spread. I’m looking forward to hitting the road, continuing to put out lots of new music, and celebrating life every day with the best fans in the world.”
