Josh Halverson Takes His Shot June 4th Tuesday, 21 May 2013 17:12 AUSTIN, Texas -- Award-winning singer-songwriter Josh Halverson has been making music for 23 of his 28 years, and with the June 4 release of his new album, One Shot, he stands poised to break onto Austin’s vibrant music scene.

Though his sound is based in acoustic roots music, Halverson—who earned Songwriter of the Year honors at the 2011 Native American Music Awards—names a diverse collection of musical influences ranging from Merle Haggard to Marvin Gaye, and his deeply personal writing is largely inspired by songwriters from the 1960s and ‘70s, including Paul Simon and John Denver. Recorded live to tape in producer Brian Douglas Phillips’ living room, One Shot has a warm and intimate feel that’s reminiscent of Jackson Browne’s early records. From “Miss Ruth,” a sparse folk song written to honor the memory of a beloved great-aunt to alt-country shuffle “A Heart to See You Through,” One Shot is a promising collection of original music from a rising star.
