Josh Meloy

Josh Meloy is an American country singer-songwriter from Oklahoma. Inspired from the Red Dirt country rock scene of his home state, Meloy released his debut album in 2018. His music is characterized by gritty vocals, reflective lyrics and a minimalist acoustic sound. Born and raised in Oklahoma, Meloy grew up in a family with deep ties to music but didn’t explore music himself until he began playing guitar in college. Since launching his musical career in 2018, Meloy released the album Oklahoma in 2020, which he recorded and produced at home and describes as his “best and most honest work to date.” Meloy's influences include Hank Williams, Jr.; Chris Stapleton; Waylon Jennings; Whiskey Myers; Evan Felker; and his own grandfather, who bought Meloy his first guitar and sang country and gospel music himself. .
