Timeline
Josh. Joplin (born Joshua David Blum on January 1, 1972) is an American singer, songwriter, as well as music and film producer.
He has founded the bands Josh. Joplin Group and Among the Oak & Ash.
His song "Camera One" was the first independent release to hit #1 at Triple A radio.
Pitchfork praised it as, "simple, the infectious chorus makes it a standout...it's also a sunny, reassuring song."
Joplin has toured extensively in North America, Europe, and Australia, and has recorded several albums with different bands.
Born in Washington, DC, Joplin grew up in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.
His family relocated to Columbia, Maryland, when he was thirteen.
Josh. attended Sandy Spring Friends School and learned from his headmaster in the seventh grade how to play guitar.
He quit the school's Community House program in the ninth grade and finished the year at Hammond High School.
He briefly returned before dropping out of high school altogether.
At the age of sixteen, Joplin successfully passed the GED and earned his Maryland high school diploma.
Inspired by William Least Heat-Moon's travelogue Blue Highways and Woody Guthrie's Bound for Glory, Joplin picked up his guitar and left home in a 1976 Volkswagen camper van and spent two years on and off the road, before settling in Denver, Colorado.
His first professional job in music was as the runner for folk/blues legend Dave Van Ronk's concert at Swallow Hill Music Association.
They hired him later the same year to open for Bill Staines.
Joplin's interest in folk music began in earnest after hearing Bob Dylan's The Times They Are a-Changin', and Phil Ochs' Gunfight at Carnegie Hall.
He recorded an Ochs cover, "I Ain't a Marchin' Anymore", on his first record, Facts of Fortune for Sleepless Nights Records, a DC record label, founded by Mr. Issa (Diao) of Good Clean Fun.
Joplin released his first album in 1989, titled A Present for Hitler.
Geoffrey Himes gave Joplin his very first notice, in the Columbia Flier, in 1990.
Having stayed a short time in New York City, Joplin heard Kevn Kinney on WFUV and bought his record, MacDougal Blues.
This convinced him to relocate to Atlanta.
He played mostly solo shows for tips at Sylvia's Atomic Cafe, a Candler Park neighborhood landmark.
It was here that Josh. met fellow songwriter Kelly Hogan, who worked there as a cook and played in The Jody Grind.
Upon seeing Five-Eight opening for The Jody Grind, Joplin began to look for a band of his own.
He recorded his third and last album for Sleepless Nights, I Love Janey, But Janey Loves The Grateful Dead.
It was produced by Ed Burdell (Magnapop).
Members of The Mirthmakers and Joybang backed Joplin on the recording.
For a while, he played music with Ani Cordero on drums and a friend on bass, but he finally emerged with his own lineup.
In 1995, Geoff Melkonian (bass, viola) and Jason Buecker (drums) founded the Josh. Joplin Band.
They released the albums Projector Head and Boxing Nostalgic as a trio, later adding Allen Broyles on piano and organ.
He produced the original version of Useful Music, Joplin's sixth studio album.
Deeds Davis was added on lead guitar and the band made a slight name change: Josh. Joplin Group.
Joplin moved to Brooklyn, New York in 1998.
He continued to tour and play with Josh. Joplin Group as well as doing solo shows.
Artemis Records re-released Useful Music in 2001 and scored the band's first and only number one hit at Triple A radio with "Camera One", which was produced by Jerry Harrison of The Modern Lovers and Talking Heads.
The band made their television debut that year, appearing on the Late Show with David Letterman, followed by Late Night with Conan O'Brien.
"Camera One" was also featured in the TV shows Scrubs, Dawsons Creek, Party of Five, Roswell, among others.
