Josh Sahunta will be playing the Sunset Concert with his band on Friday evening and will also be performing as a solo act on the Big Tent stage on Saturday afternoon.
“When it comes to setting the bar high, JUNO-nominated indie-pop artist Josh Sahunta never lets his feet touch the ground. Drawing upon his influences of John Mayer, Ed Sheeran and Lewis Capaldi, Josh’s songwriting is packed with deeply rich narratives and cool, contemporary soundscapes.
Josh was also recently involved in the writing and vocal performance on a major release by Sony India that has already amassed over 10 million views on YouTube. Josh recently received his first ever JUNO nomination for “Adult Contemporary Album of the Year” with his album To Be Loved Vol. I”. “Josh Sahunta is one of those creative prodigies who excels at absolutely everything he touches.” – BK On The Scene
