Josh Taerk is a Canadian singer-songwriter and a young phenomenon who, despite having just released his first album, has already gained fans amongst rock royalty including Bruce Springsteen’s drummer Max Weinberg, calling Taerk “the most exciting new talent I have come across in years.”
Having attracted the attentions of legendary producer Terry Brown (Rush, Blue Rodeo, Cutting Crew) Taerk set out to collaborate on what would become his remarkable debut full-length album, “Never Look Back”, released in the UK in December 2011. The first single, ‘Start Again’ gained a great deal of airplay on radio stations nationwide and attracted press in major publications including Music Week, Rock N Reel, Fireworks, Classic Rock, and Guitar Magazine.
Josh will be joining The Soldiers on their August UK Tour. Fresh from headlining the London Palladium, with 3 massive hit chart albums and a number one single, The Soldiers have cemented a reputation for an electrifying live show – this line-up is sure to be the hottest concert ticket in town.
