Blurring the lines between country, folk, indie, and rock, LA native Desure unveils his latest track “West Wind (Stay Here Awhile)” and has announced his self titled debut EP out May 3rd. This release will coincide with his show at the historic Ryman Auditorium in Nashville.
Josh Desure jumpstarted his career in the music business tour managing for Midland, hitting the road with the trio as they toured their debut album On the Rocks. After a last-minute opening stint for the band in Bakersfield, Desure hung up his tour-manager hat and decided to give music a real go.
Representing the missing link between sixties Laurel Canyon and desert dust bowl country right from the heart of Bakersfield, Desure traffics on his own road beset by unfiltered storytelling, evocative instrumentation, and soulful delivery. Like candid dialogue befitting of a late-night cruise in the glow of headlights and nothing more, the bearded troubadour doesn’t censor a thing. As a result, he steadily maintains pace on an upward rise highlighted by syncs on NETFLIX’s The Ranch, sold out tours supporting Midland, and acclaim from the likes of Rolling Stone within a year since his emergence.
Glide is thrilled to premiere Desure’s “West Wind (Stay Here Awhile)” (below) a roots rock slow burner that is crisp with melodic vulnerability and quiet strength. Desure ties together the alt-country earnestness of early Neil Young, Rhett Miller and Ryan Bingham with a cusp of sly and soulful vocals.
“ThIs a song I wrote for my wife. It’s about our honest journey together,” says Demure. “If I’m ever down she picks me up and visa versa. This song talks a lot about that give and take of a relationship. Since meeting her it’s the first time I’ve ever been able to write anything positive in a song and she makes it easy.”
Desure is currently on tour with Midland for their “Electric Rodeo Tour” in both the U.S. and U.K. Desure will also be performing select dates with singer-songwriter Dwight Yoakam. For more information on tour dates and tickets, please visit www.desuremusic.com
