"A textbook indie effort written with aplomb" - Ottawa Citizen

"There is certainly craftsmanship and determination in Drunk stoned or in love" - Ottawa Sun

Not only has he been performing in major festivals, been heard on commercial radio, been raved about in newspapers across the region even appearing on national television Joshua Morin is breaking into and gaining momentum in the music scene with his signature style of music he calls indie rock with a story.

If you havent heard him yet, youre missing out on a multi-talented writer, singer, musician and showman, as described by Caroline Boyde of Magic Dolphin Music.

Its clear why this Ottawa native has been given such praise! As a multi-talented writer, Joshua pens a fresh, new style of music he calls indie rock with a story. A combination of folk story-telling and indie rock, it came from Joshuas love of entertaining by telling stories, and his musical roots which include jazz and blues, as well as rock and folk. Joshuas lyrics understand that its the simple life moments about love, loss and leaky cars that make up the depth of life itself, ingeniously marrying these themes with rocks raw emotions. His clever twists are mischievously unapologetic and his stories are wittily ironic. They leave listeners sometimes laughing and commiserating, both at the same time!

Musically, the blend of rock and folk is masterfully seamless, yet satisfyingly distinctive. Joshuas guitar can go from solid electric riffs to festive acoustic lilts; and his tempos from swaying calypso to foot-stomping drives. His vocals master the full range of emotions from soft candlelight to raspy hecklers. A distinctive tenor, writes The Ottawa Citizens Patrick Langston, who exhibits a nicely understated sense of humour and self-irony. A multi-talented singer and musician indeed! Joshuas music is truly something you would want to listen to over and over, as Harvey Glatt, Director of Canadian Music Development, once wrote.

Finally, as a showman, Joshuas performances are incredibly versatile. Whether energetically lifting the crowd to their feet with his five-piece band, or connecting and sharing more intimately as a solo act, Joshua consistently attracts the attention of every audience. I love getting better at connecting with all kinds of audiences, learning to read them and know what entertains them, he says.

This phenomenal multi-talent definitely does not go unnoticed! Amazing for an up-and-comer, Joshua has performed in three major festivals in the Ottawa area this past summer Westfest, Stewart Park Festival, and Canada Day Festival. There is no wonder that Joshua is also grabbing the attention of the media! Hes performed on CTVs national program Good Morning Canada, and the local Rogers TV, as well as having commercial radio play on CHUMs Bob FM and CKCU. News articles have featured Joshua and his music in the Ottawa XPress, The Ottawa Citizen, The Ottawa Sun, and Ottawa Metro. Joshua Morin is certainly no stranger to Ottawas music scene! Hes repeatedly commanded the stages of popular venues like The Black Sheep Inn, Zaphods Beeblebox, Manx Pub, Rasputins, and many more; and hes pumped about reaching out beyond the national capital region. In fact, hes already performed at The Yellow Door in Montreal.

Joshua has two full-length CDs. The first, entitled While You Were Out, was released in 2004 and received rave reviews. For example, The Link wrote, The self-produced album is remarkably done.

Drunk Stoned or In Love is the title of Joshuas second CD, which was recently released in June of 2006. It represented for Joshua a milestone in defining his musical identity. It was in writing the songs on this album which he did traveling through South America that Joshua learned to harness the musical inspiration he only spontaneously felt before. It was in creating this album that he learned to tap into the drive that made him push his music further to stay true to the kind of music that he loves to write and perform. Allan Wigney of The Ottawa Sun commented, There is certainly craftsmanship and determination in Drunk Stone or In Love; while Patrick Langston of The Ottawa Citizen commends, a textbook indie effort executed with aplomb.

Joshuas already excited about working on his next album!

Theres undeniably a momentum building for Joshua Morin and hes exploding into the music scene with a driving passion, a natural talent and a confident uniqueness! Along with his instinctive ability to connect with audiences of all kinds, his snowballing presence in the Ottawa music arena, and his continued praise for his genius, Joshua Morin is on the brink of launching into the greater Canadian scene with the same driving momentum!
