I sometimes like to listen to some country songs because it will let me feel happy and relax. The pure vocals are not overly musical. It feels like being in nature or in the forest. After I came to Canada, when I was searching for country folk songs, I found that in Vancouver. There’s a musical group like this, they’re called Josh + Bex, and their captivating harmonies and honed, earthy voices meet at the intersection of hope and sadness – giving space to their songs to explore the light of Mother Earth, love, pain, connection and natural wonders. Last year Josh + Bex won a silver medal in Best Kelowna Musician (Kelowna Now), giving them widespread recognition in the Okanagan Valley and beyond.

Whenever I feel anxious and need to relax, I will always play their songs, sit in a chair and close my eyes or lie on the bed, and let them lead me into the comfortable and pleasant nature with their ears, and the light music style the soft vocals make me get rid of the unpleasant mood every time. Josh + Bex have performed at the internationally acclaimed Salmon Arm Roots and Blues festival.

On May 20 this year, they will release a new EP, sharing their life in the mountains and fields, leading fans to experience the rural environment they live in with singing, and commemorating his father through singing, so that everyone can cherish the memory of him through music and the people and things that have passed make the heart feel soothed. This album also appeals to the gratitude and cherishing of the living environment. They hope everyone can love the earth together and protect our nature. Cherish the existing resources and don’t over-consume daily necessities. Everyone who likes country music, don’t miss it.
