BoogieMKIIA Posted June 9, 2025 Posted June 9, 2025 I sent an email to @JGravelin with pickup questions and found out he is in town (Lexington, KY) with Erik Koskinen playing Woodsongs at the Lyric Theater tonight 6/9). He got my friend and I in the door, getting ready for the show to start. Proof attached. The man, the myth, the legend. And great guy.
BoogieMKIIA Posted June 10, 2025 Author Posted June 10, 2025 Josh is an excellent musician. His bass playing included volume swells and walking up the neck. Also sang harmony. They played a cool song using a Danelectro baritone guitar and lyrics about someone's grandfather who was b-a-d, raising hell, marrying a cousin and running with the devil. A cool show and Josh was gracious to visit a bit.
tbonesullivan Posted June 10, 2025 Posted June 10, 2025 NICE! Also, what is that bass? It looks like something somewhere between a Telecaster (1st gen) Precision bass and a Jazz Bass.
BruceM Posted June 10, 2025 Posted June 10, 2025 I've seen this band many times. In 2004, right after I was laid off work, Erik's band had a residency here at Nye's, one our local institution bars that is no longer there. They played every Wednesday night, and I was there often. This was pre-Josh, but I've seen them a couple of times over the last 5 years after Josh had joined the band. I'll keep eye peeled for when they return here.

atomicwash Posted June 10, 2025 Posted June 10, 2025 Hey, I know Erik K! I saw him in Madison a couple months ago.
Jakeboy Posted June 12, 2025 Posted June 12, 2025 @JGravelin, we would love to know when you are on tour so we can crash the party and meet you.
Dutchman Posted June 12, 2025 Posted June 12, 2025 Josh and I spent a few days fishing together a couple years ago. If you want to get to know someone spent 10 hours in a boat together. He quickly became family and we had a blast. Plus he went home with a big bag of fish!!! Super Great Guy!!!
belgian Posted June 14, 2025 Posted June 14, 2025 Met him long time ago when he was playing with the Guy Forsyth band. He claims he’s been at my place, but I can’t remember - totally my brain failure - but anyway we met again last year in Minneapolis.
