Q1: Is Josiah and the Bonnevilles a full band or a solo project?
Josiah and the Bonnevilles originated as a multi-member indie outfit in Los Angeles, but has long functioned primarily as the creative moniker and touring vehicle for singer-songwriter Josiah Leming, supported by a rotating cast of backing players.
Q2: Where were the primary tracks for the album 'As Is' recorded?
Unlike previous studio-heavy efforts, As Is was captured largely in non-traditional home and rural spaces, utilizing minimal microphone setups to retain ambient acoustic sound, room resonance, and porch-side directness.
Q3: Why did Josiah Leming move away from the folk-rock sound of his earlier albums?
Leming found that high-gloss production diluted the emotional core of his songwriting. By pivoting toward sparse acoustic storytelling, he aligned his recorded output with the unvarnished live performances that built his dedicated fanbase.
