Josh Rouse
American singer-songwriter Josh Rouse takes the stage at Willem Twee Toonzaal.
Josh Rouse is an American singer-songwriter born in 1972 in Nebraska, known for warm folk-pop rooted in the soft-rock sounds of the seventies. He broke through with 1972 (2003) and Nashville (2005), won a Spanish Goya Award for best film song in 2014, and spent over a decade living in Valencia before returning to Nashville in 2018. NPR has called him one of contemporary music's most engaging singer-songwriters.
Josh Rouse signed a contract with New West Records and announced his new album Museums and Women, scheduled for October 23, 2026.
The album Museums and Women, produced by longtime collaborator Brad Jones, was recorded live in the studio with bassist Jones and drummer Fred Eltringham.
Rouse will tour in the fall of 2026 in support of Museums and Women, with stops in Chicago, Baltimore and Philadelphia, among others.
The lead single from the new album is 'January Sky', with which Rouse launched his collaboration with New West Records.
Rouse released the album Going Places in July 2022, recorded at home during the pandemic and characterized by a loosely electric sound.
