Josh Morningstar at the Law Office Music Hall

A curious and fresh combination of grit and humor, Josh Morningstar is knocking down stereotypes with his worn boots and unforgettable raspy voice. He is a small-town boy that originally hails from Funkstown, Maryland, and he carries those roots in a suitcase with him everywhere he goes. His small-town charm is evident in the way he greets people, and in the conversational way that he weaves the stories of his life into his music.

In front of the bright lights and behind the microphone isn't where Morningstar feels most at home. Named the 2018 Texas Radio Songwriter of the Year, he and his Kristofferson signed guitar have knocked out melodies in dingy hotels all across the country. He’s written songs alongside Kendell Marvel, Channing Wilson, Autumn McEntire, and many more. Morningstar was also the writer of Cody Jinks’s #1 hit “Must Be The Whiskey”. Six other of his songs are included on Jinks’s newest set of albums, “After The Fire” and “The Wanting”: “Tell ‘Em What It’s Like,” “Which One I Feed,” “The Plea,” “It Don’t Rain in California,” “Let’s Do Yesterday Again,” and “Ain’t a Train”.
