Myspace Band of the Week: Joshua Staar
www.myspace.com/joshuastaar

Sound is...
Acoustic/Rock

Members are...
Joshua Staar, vocals/guitar/piano

Joshua Staar is a flat out talented young guy with a down to earth attitude. He currently resides in Chicago, Illinois. Joshua cannot only sing with a beautiful clear voice, leave the piano in tears from the emotional and catchy notes, play the guitar like it has been permanently attached to his hands his whole life, but can also play...the tuba? Hmm, we like your combination of instrumental talents, Joshua.

Inspirations include The Beatles, Coldplay, Blur, Death Cab For Cutie, John Lennon, and more for this acoustic artist. Upon listening to " She's So Lovely ", you will be brought into the struggles of a guy longing for a relationship to succeed. When you click on " I Can't See You " a sudden captivation will sweep you over- you will be in a trance with Joshua's guitar and soft voice singing "You, I'm coming for You, Beautiful You, lead me to where I'll believe you." And be sure not to forget about " Never Too Late "- You'll easily find yourself rewinding this track over and over again, memorizing the lyrics, and singing them all week long.

Why not add Joshua Staar to your Myspace friends list? Plus he adores the comments!
