“A soulful voice of the Finger Lakes, blending the raw grit of 90s indie rock with the timeless intimacy of a classic storyteller”
Josh Ketchum
Sharp songwriting, strong hooks, and a sound that sticks.
Josh Ketchum is a Rochester-area singer-songwriter known for blending modern indie rock with a roots-informed sensibility and an easy, engaging stage presence. Performing both as a solo artist and as co-lead singer and guitarist for the band LFG, he has become a familiar name across the Finger Lakes live music circuit, consistently delivering sets that connect with a wide range of audiences.
With more than a decade of experience and a catalog of 50 to 100 original songs, Josh brings depth and variety to every performance. His songwriting leans into strong melodic hooks and relatable themes, with standout tracks like “Barriers,” “Alright, Ok,” and “I’ll Be Away This Christmas” showcasing his ability to balance thoughtful lyrics with accessible, crowd-friendly arrangements. His 2022 release NOW! highlights this range, moving comfortably between indie rock energy and stripped-down, acoustic-driven moments.
