Flying Heart Live with Josh Love
05/01/2022
06:00 PM
Josh Love grew up in the small town of Crossett, AR. While music was an integral part of his life he didn’t pick up the guitar until he was 15 having seen a friend play one at a high school talent show. After graduating high school in 2008 he moved to Monroe, LA to pursue a degree in music. There he was fortunate enough to find talented musicians to regularly play with. After graduating in 2015 he began playing professionally in the local scene, receiving the Emerging Artist Award for the 2016 NELA Music Awards. He can be heard playing regularly in the Monroe and surrounding areas. Being a fan of music since he was a little child he channels virtually every genre in his playing and singing from rock to RnB, to gospel to blues. Not being afraid to cross barriers Josh Love is able to connect with any crowd. It’s always a treat to be able to come to a show of his!
