Going Places
American singer-songwriter Josh Rouse wrote the songs for Going Places, while hunkered down in Spain with his family in 2020 and 2021. The inspiration was to have a set of new songs to play in a small club run by a couple of his Spanish bandmates. Josh recorded and produced the record in his home studio, with the result being a collection of songs that feel a bit looser, lean into the guitar a bit more, and created to be perfect to perform in a live setting. The album is another sonic shift for Josh, who isn’t afraid of changing things up. What remains consistent is Josh's ability to write hooks and find grooves that create a sound that is at once familiar, but wholly new.

After a holiday album and a record that swapped guitars for synthesizers, Josh Rouse returns to wistful Americana in fine style on 'Going Places'.
