We chatted to Aussie up-and-coming artist Josh Cashman before his gig with us on AusMusic T-shirt day!
Josh has been on multiple international tours throughout North America, released two albums, and has a year ahead that will see him playing to thousands of music lovers across the globe in support of Tash Sultana’s world tour as well as Josh’s first international headline shows in London, Hamburg, and North America. His charismatic vocals and warm guitar tunes have a groove that’s hard to ignore!
Tell us more about why you’re excited to be supporting Ausmusic T-shirt Day and playing at Harbord Hotel
After such a tough few years to see the live scene start to thrive and have live music goers excited about seeing the amazing array of acts our country has to offer makes me humbled to be apart of the scene. Support Act helped me and a lot of my close creative circle during the global pause so giving back is something very important to me. I also love the Northern Beaches, after spending 7 months touring overseas I’m pumped to be in one of the most beautiful parts of Australia at such a prestine and vibey venue.
What Aussie Tee will you be repping for Ausmusic T-shirt Day this year?

Name your top 3 fav Aussie artists right now?
Parcels

Telenova
Where do you go to find/seek inspiration?
As cliche as it may be, it’s as far away from any concrete jungle where life is just so fast paced. Somewhere that you can stop, breathe, smell clean air and see the stars at night.
Earworm – what song can’t you get out of your head?
Oh Caroline – The 1975
High rotation – what album are you vibing right now?
Being Funny In A Foreign Language – The 1975
Warm up routine – tell us a little about how you like to warm up before a gig?
I eat 2 hours prior, I have a vocal steamer and I vocal tube I like to use on and off for 2 hours prior to the show to warm up, a guitar always backstage to strum/do scales, and of course a speaker or headphones to blast my favourite songs on rotation right now and get excited.
Drink of choice – what drink is your go-to when you go out?
MOSCOW MULE or IRISH MULE. Anything with ginger, lime and mint
Travel list – where do you want to travel to next and why?
I’ve spent 4 months in North America this year and I’m super excited to head across the Mexican border next time I visit USA as it is so close yet so contrasting. Partying in Tijuana & surfing in Tulum are top of my list right now.
