“Josh Workman set the tone with his soft, jazzy guitar rhythms…”

Josh Workman (www.JoshWorkman.com) began playing guitar at age 10 and by the tender age of 13 was already out performing in the smoke-filled bars of San Francisco’s infamous North Beach. Some of his earliest guitar teachers included Ray Scott, Tuck Andress (Tuck & Patti), Dave Creamer and Bruce Foreman. Josh spent a year at the Berklee School of Music in Boston, at age 19 Josh left to finish his studies at the New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music in New York City. This is where he fully immersed himself in learning to play jazz guitar. He has recorded and performed with artists such as world music ensemble D’Vash, The Jazz Passengers (featuring Deborah Harry of Blondie) and offshoots of the Groove Collective. During the neo-swing craze of the late 1990s, his band, Indigo Swing was regarded as one of the bands leading the pack, touring internationally and performing 200-300 dates per year, touring with The Brian Setzer Orchestra and headlining many prestigious festivals around the globe such as the Stuttgart Jazz Festival in Germany, where they shared the stage with legends Rosemary Clooney, Lionel Hampton and vocalist Dee Dee Bridgewater. He also toured as a member of Hot Club of San Francisco, and released his own CD, Jumpin’ At The Border.
