With a deep fascination for traditional American folk, songwriter Josiah Leming, along with his co-conspirators in The Bonnevilles, embraces life's rollercoaster rides in an honest and poetic lyrical universe.

On Josiah Leming's tenth studio album, As Is, he becomes more electric than ever before. The result is an electrifying release that focuses on joy, sorrow, and working-class issues that feel more relevant than ever in a fragmented America.

His records have always been personal. But on As Is, the songwriter places himself in a more observant role and describes up close all the complex emotions we humans harbor. Josiah Leming says in the press release:

"I want anyone to be able to put it on and not think about me when they're listening. I want them to be in the emotion".

The album features collaborations with some of Nashville's biggest names, including Grammy-winning Natalie Hemby (Lady Gaga, Miranda Lambert) and Joel Little (Lorde, Taylor Swift, Noah Kahan). The songs on As Is highlight Leming's vivid sense of heartfelt lyrics, always expressed wistfully by his charismatic, vulnerable vocals. With melodious arrangements and an almost documentary approach to storytelling, the band strikes a nerve that feels both classic and contemporary.
