Josh Taerk (pronounced Terk) was born in Toronto, Canada. He is an official Recording Academy / Grammy Member and his latest song “Beautiful Tragedy” broke into the Billboard Top 40 Pop Charts! As of March 18th, 2019 it reached #38 on the BDS/Billboard Indicator Chart, and spent 3 consecutive weeks in the Top 40 on the Mediabase Pop Activator Chart! Max Weinberg (Rock & Roll Hall of Famer, Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band) has called Josh, “the most exciting new talent I have come across in years.” Josh and Max have worked together since 2010 when Max asked Josh to open for him and his band in South Orange, New Jersey. Then in 2011, Josh joined Max at Summerfest in Milwaukee to pay tribute to the late Clarence Clemons of The E Street Band. In October 2017, Max once again asked Josh to join him onstage and sing “Thunder Road” at The Horseshoe Tavern in Toronto, Canada. His live shows are second to none and continue to wow fans and industry representatives alike. Lyrically Speaking Magazine wrote, “the audience could feel the passion and enthusiasm Josh puts into his music...you can instantly tell that he has a large and confident presence onstage,” and the Bournemouth Daily Echo described Josh as a “rising star hailed as the new boss.”
