Josiah Luftig's approach to traditional folk, jazz and popular genres by way of lyrical and instrumental improvisation has made him a highly coveted singer-songwriter act at venues of every kind across America. His multi-instrumentalism and frequent collaborations make for exciting concert performances or beautifully textured jazz-folk atmospherics to complement the casual setting. His cheerful crowd work and accessible, interactive material welcome the casual listener and attentive fan alike.

 Josiah Luftig was raised by academic parents in central Virginia. A poet and songwriter from the age of 6, he was asked at 12 to debut his original material for an audience of over 600 people. He has performed regularly since then in bands and solo. But he does still play the songs from when he's 6. They're alright.

Popular with American and international audiences alike, Josiah has now presented his work across the US, France, Ireland, and that one time on a boat in the middle of the Atlantic. He'd love to perform for you.

When he is not touring, Josiah divides his time between New York City and Charlottesville, Virginia. He gets his amateur promotional abilities from Katz's Delicatessen advertising slogans. We hope you're having what he's having.
