About Rev Ezra
Hi, I'm Josh...
Hi, I’m Josh, I live in Ithaca, NY, and I started the project "Rev Ezra." I had my first release as a solo artists back in 2022, but since early 2024 have been writing and collaborating with my friend and fiddler, Sam Schmidt. We're currently releasing singles that will lead up to a full album called "Generations" in December, 2024.
The sound of this album is stripped back. We recorded all of the songs with one microphone in single takes at Electric Wilburland Studios. We used no click tracks, no pitch correction, and no overdubs (not that any of these are bad, we just didn't want them for this project). We wanted these songs to sound exactly as we would playing them at an intimate venue, or in someone's home.
The lyrical themes are focused on growing as a person while helping and supporting others, knowing more about yourself by learning about your family and acknowledging your past, and the important relationships you develop as you move through life, to name a few. My goal as a songwriter has always been to tell honest, nuanced stories, and to put all the common yet hard-to-grasp emotions into words, with the hope that folks can relate.
