Josh Rawlings

Josh Rawlings, pianist, composer, Seattle music union representative, leads the Josh Rawlings Trio which recently released its debut album Climbing Stairs on the Broken Time record label. His luscious chords have been dubbed “kraws”, an onomatopoeia depicting their rippling nature, and he is affectionately nicknamed Josh “Krawlings” by his band mates. Playing the Fender Rhodes and using various effects beautifully, his endless inner fountain of music pours forth in The Teaching’s performances. His heartfelt singing has become a beloved addition to the band’s sound and often pushes the band and audience across the boundary into musical ecstasy. Josh also plays in and composes for a host of other Seattle groups including Industrial Revelation, Soul Kata, Water Babies, Jason Parker Quartet, and Choklate’s live band. Josh is co-founder of J&J Music, which has become a burgeoning music booking and promotion company in Seattle since its inception in early 2007.
