Josh Rouse

Josh Rouse brings a concert to Brudenell Social Club in Leeds, presenting songs from the recent album Museums and Women. The night sits within the pop, rock and indie programme of the venue.

Josh Rouse is an American singer-songwriter who has been active since 1998, when he released his debut album, Dressed Up Like Nebraska, on Rykodisc. The Billboard review of that record described it as a dark horse gem, and NPR has called Rouse one of contemporary music's most engaging singer-songwriters.

The songs on Museums and Women were recorded in Nashville with long-time production partner Brad Jones, who has also worked with Chuck Prophet and Hayes Carll. Rouse has described writing them as observational, built from characters and small moments noticed while travelling, with a bittersweet tone beneath a calm surface.

Brudenell Social Club is a live music venue and social club at 33 Queen's Road in Burley, Leeds, which began as a working men's club and mainly hosts pop, rock and indie concerts. The evening suits listeners who follow songwriter-led albums and the stories told within them.
