Sounds Like
Imagine the wit and charm and comedy of Moxy Fruvous mixed with the wit and charm of the Decemberists, and the wit and charm and awesomeness of They Might Be Giants, and you'll have what I would like to sound like.
Currently, I'm just a guy with a guitar. Reachin' for the stars!
Oh, and if I could write lyrics like John Darnielle I would be happy too.
Hi, I'm Josh Belville, and this is my music profile.
I'm a singer-songwriter originally from Idaho. I just moved to Portland to pursue a better music scene. I am also an actor, having graduated from Boise State with a Theatre Arts degree.
My music has a newly christened genre -- "poforo", or pop folk rock. I think it's rad.
Basically I sound like if John Darnielle and Colin Meloy had a baby, and that baby was redheaded.
I hope you like my music, and that you'll be my friend and that one day we will frolic in a field of gardenias together.
Hi there! We've got a new EP that we're especially proud of called Summer which is the second in our series of seasonal EPs this year.

If you like what you hear, we'd be very grateful if you'd support our efforts by buying the EP for €2.50 (around $3.20). Hope all is going great for you. Thanks for being our friend!
Hey Josh... we've been diggin your Kitties and Puppies song :) Thanks for makin us laugh :) Come on out to the Fez on Wednesday night if you're free! We'll be on around 9:30. Much Love~ Humano y El Humano Revolucion!
The new tracks are great, man! I've always wanted to do a ballad/duet version of "Don't Turn Around. " So when I saw that you had posted "The Sign," I was like, "Oh my dog, please let that be a cover!!"
Oh, around. I changed my major to Journalism, but I still am a Theater Minor. I listened to Goodnight, and it was cool! Im used to hearing just you and a guitar. Kinda made me want to start recording again.
