The Joshua Stedman Band is: Joshua Stedman, Vic Kingsley, and Derek Cintron. Three of Miami's accomplished singer-songwriters that have come together to merge a unique and inspired musical helix of Rock/Soul, Pop Americana, and Classic Rock into a power-trio with 3-part harmonies, classic covers songs, original creations, and all organic origins.
The music of the Joshua Stedman Band resonates as a sonic cocktail of classic artist influences of The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, The Police, and Motown, and modern sounds of Seal, Jamiroquai, and Lenny Kravitz.
The band's original compositions reflect roots from New York and Miami with soulful, story-telling music sculptures that poeticize the impact of the relationships personal to each of them, but familiar to all of us. They share life's observations and experiences that tend to illicit that, “Yep, I've been there, too...” reaction in each of us.
The Joshua Stedman Band weaves a clever web of winding chord arrangements, elusive guitar riffs and deep organic bass lines around subtle rhythmic shifts. Their distinctive individual voices build a bright and full vocal wall of harmonies that pours out a "we-love-what-we-do" honesty that seduces the ear from opening note to "good night!!"
