Having taken nearly a decade off from touring to dedicate himself full-time to parenting, Josh Joplin still managed to produce, and write award-winning films (2 features and 1 animation short.) With his daughter in college now, Josh Joplin is returning to music with, "Figure Drawing.” Geoffrey Himes of the Washington Post praised it, writing, “Joplin’s experiences, from his early days as a Dylanesque troubadour to his mid- career success as an indie-rocker, are reflected in this new recording, the broadest, deepest and most balanced of his career.” Josh Joplin made his debut at an early age with Josh Joplin Group's album, Useful Music. It scored a #1 hit with Camera One and was produced by famed Talking Head, Jerry Harrison. The song has been featured in many television shows, including Scrubs. In 2011, his song "Blue Skies Again" was covered by Jessica Lea Mayfield, chosen as a “Song of The Day” by iTune and downloaded over a million times. According to Pitchfork.
