Josh Knowles

An in-demand and versatile musician, Josh Knowles has featured on albums by The Front Bottoms, John Nolan (Taking Back Sunday), and An Horse, performed on stages for Barack Obama, David Letterman and James Taylor, and frequently collaborates with Cirio Collective and Boston Ballet, with whom he has appeared on stage for historic runs at the Boston Opera House and the Lincoln Center in New York. He currently resides as a Community Luminary at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, where he performs regularly. In February of 2018, Knowles released "Spin Without A Sound," his debut instrumental album of loop-based ethereal solo electric violin pieces. In summer 2019 he showcased his songwriting side with debut breakthrough single "Same," which incorporated his signature electric violin tones but also showcased his prowess as a songwriter and vocalist. A unique and cathartic ballad, "Same" has garnered over 100,000 plays on Spotify. In early 2020, Knowles premiered a collection of new original material by performing it live on stage during a 3 night run with Providence Festival Ballet. His powerful experimental song and latest single “How Deep the Dark” opened the show, and has been released everywhere as of May 26, 2020.
