We are under 2 weeks away from the debut of Josh Weathers at The Epic Theater, presented by TexasTrust and tickets are almost gone.  Click HERE for tickets before they sell out!

The Epic Theater is proud to present “An Acoustic Evening with Josh Weathers.”   In 2013, After a recorded clip of him singing “I Will Always Love You” by Whitney Houston went viral on YouTube, Weathers has since been a rising star.  In 2011, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram called him “the hardest working man in local music.”  He even performed at the Salute to Our Armed Services Ball as part of the Presidential Inauguration weekend.

In 2014, Weathers actually left music to focus on more philanthropic efforts, then returned to the craft last year when he realized music will help those efforts. Those efforts have materialized into The “Love Like You Mean It” nonprofit, which is dedicated to “changing the treatment of young girls and women in India who, at as young as 5 years old, are cast into sex and slave trafficking.”

On May 17th, The Fort Worth bluesman will perform an acoustic set in what’s likely to be the highest-profiled gig to date for The Epic Theater. Come support Josh in an intimate, acoustic settnig as he sings all of his greatest hits.

The following is an excerpt from Joshua’s website, including a description of Joshua’s newest album.

Super heroes, Tooth fairies, Santa Claus, and the Boogie Man—- growing up in small town Alabama, Joshua Moore believed in them all.  As a kid, Joshua was famous around town for putting on front yard talent shows where he was always the main attraction.  He would create the music, craft his own costumes, and put together, what he believed were, show stopping performances.  His siblings were constantly laughing, “That’s just Josh”.  His parents knew he was different… always dreaming.  His voice had a natural vibe.  His melodies would wrap you up like cool, autumn breezes; cozy, slow winters; spring newness; and,  long, lazy summer days. Currently, Joshua is committed to translating those melodies into amazing music with a global purpose.  His desire is to shine hope, love, and peace in the world. His music is his message.

Joshua’s debut album, “The Many Faces of Joshua Moore”  (released Summer 2018), promises to etch his musical genius into your soul,  with these extraordinary original songs —

“Peace” invites the world to heal itself.  It is a prayer for peace that can heal all nations and people, in a world where war, including nuclear annihilation often seem fingertips away.

“We The People – (A Revolution Song)”  is a powerful song about revolution of thought, power in unity, and the world’s people claiming life, liberty, and happiness. It is a timely and timeless song celebrating movement and movements all over the world.

“Home” gets inside of you, and sets up camp.  Is home a place?   Is it a space in time?  Is it a relationship?   Is it a feeling?  A chameleon idea; “Home” will stick to your bones long after the last note.  It resonates.

“Trading Places” reminds you of who you are at your center, at your core. Hauntingly naked and honest, it is an innocent return to self.

Some spend a lifetime searching for “It”.  That thing that gives life meaning.  That thing that makes life worth living.  “Destiny” takes you around the world to bring you back to the realization that “It” is within.

“Live” is a song about release, relief, and understanding that we only control the man in the mirror.  After your best, “just let it go”!

“Dreaming”  is simply a song about love.

“Mud On Your Boots” is a good ole’ knee slapping, barn raising, line-dancing country party song headed straight to Nashville.  Josh calls it his international country love song.  Some say country is just the blues with a twang!  You decide. Quick to tell you he’s a country boy, JMo embraces his brand of “country” with a passion. There is more where this one came from.  Hold on to your horses!

Super heroes, Tooth fairies,  Santa, and the Boogie Man linger as fond memories from Joshua’s childhood,  but Joshua’s music dream is very much alive, real, and ready for the world.

“My desire is to create music with a global purpose, shining lights of hope, love,  and peace in the midst of a seemingly daily onslaught of pain and evil gripping the world.  The only thing I know for sure is that I was born to sing. For me, singing is as natural as breathing.  I love it.  It is my purpose. God has given me this gift to make a difference.  From my lips to the world’s ear.  I come in Love! ”   – Joshua Moore
