Joshua Hyslop

At first glance, Joshua Hyslop’s clean-cut country-folk ballads evoke a soothing, breezy vibe. But don’t be fooled—beneath that calm surface lurks a pensive soul. His debut album was directly inspired by a near-death experience in India, and his songs explore themes as diverse as climate change, homelessness, and his relationship with God. Joshua draws you in with his soft, understated guitar playing and voice, but it’s the underlying emotions that will keep listeners connected to him for life.

Hyslop approaches songwriting and performing in a way that sets him apart from your average singer-songwriter. His world tour has consisted entirely of intimate performances in people’s homes. Traveling with a caravan, he performs pop-up shows wherever and whenever he can. For Hyslop, music isn’t just for the stage; it’s an emotional vehicle through which he connects with the world around him. This paints a beautiful picture of the person he is, but you can trust that his music will resonate just as beautifully on a stage in Rotterdam.
