Roped Into Music

For the past few years he has served as the co-songwriter for punk-grass band Cherrywood, and now Joshua Seymour is thrilled to present a collection of his own tunes on his debut LP, Rope Tied Hope. Recorded in Texas over a six-day period at David Willingham’s the Echo Lab – a Grammy-winning engineer responsible for more than one hundred albums – the album is an Australian take on Americana. The release draws from personal experience, playing out over finger-picking guitar and mandolin. Seymour launched the album at The Toff in Melbourne late last month, but has lined up a good handful of further dates, including one at The Barwon Hotel, Geelong on August 16.
