Joshua Roberts is a guitarist, bassist, singer, and songwriter from Houston, Texas. The Scottish born Texan started his musical studies in junior high school, and eventually went on to earn a college degree in commercial music and audio technology. He has been performing live since he was a teenager, initially making his mark on the Texas music scene with his first band Willis Brownstone, an alternative rock jam-band from Waco, Texas. Willis Brownstone released two albums: Summer Salt in 2004 and Without Hesitation in 2007.
2007 was also the year that Roberts released his first solo record, a jazz and Americana infused, 12 song album titled Concede. Unfortunately, in January of 2008 Joshua severly injured his left hand during a stage set up. After two surgeries, he was left barely able to play guitar and had a long road of rehab ahead. Part of the rehabilitation process was learning how to play bass guitar. He was taught mostly by his long time musical partner Caleb Jones, who was the bassist in Willis Brownstone and has been the bassist on all of Joshua's solo albums. Roberts spent the next ten years as a hired gun on lead guitar and bass guitar, playing with at least a half dozen bands of different genres, from rock, to country, and even Christian contemporary.
In 2018, Roberts returned to pursuing his solo music career releasing his second album. Featuring Caleb Jones on bass and multiple other intruments, the two created an experimental, ambient rock 5 song EP titled Electroharmonic.
In 2020, Roberts once again returned to the studio, but this time with producer Chris Castaneda at the helm, and the destination was 512 Studios in Austin, Texas. Over the next year, Joshua's third album Lost & Found was recorded, and eventually released in early 2022. The 8 song genre-hopping album titled Lost & Found features some of Texas' most talented players including David Pulkingham, Rodney Pyeatt, and Chris Castaneda on guitar, Omar Vallejo on bass (and trumpet!!), and Cody Angel on pedal steel guitar.

"Joshua Roberts has released his new album titled ‘Lost & Found’. A sweet combination of virtuosity, volume, and variance, ‘Lost & Found’ showcases Joshua’s talent as a guitarist and musician and adds songwriter and vocalist to form a signature sound that is as genre hopping as it is earnest and true to his form.
Each song delves into a different style within Joshua’s own sound while remaining relevant musically and interestingly beautiful sonically. Trust me, you will find something that resonates with you on this album."
