Soloist Josh Doyle announces he will start his next UK tour at the O2 Academy2 in Oxford

Josh Doyle has announced his upcoming 2017 UK tour will kick off on April 19 at the O2 Academy2 in Oxford.

Tickets are available at the links below or visit joshdoyle.com.

Doyle will serve up five new songs from his new album, Modern Times, and will be available at digital retailers everywhere from Corporate Ogre Records / CTK Records.

“I can’t wait for this U.K tour and putting out the first wave of five songs from my new album, Modern Times,” said Doyle.

“New songs have just been flowing out of me as all this craziness has been going on in the world. I’ve not been hearing a lot of other artists writing music about it so I wanted to step up to the mic and not get political but just sing about how life is now.

“The shows are entertainment and there will be a lot of laughs to be had too, but it’s about the songs and sending people home feeling like we’re in this life together and just to make the most of it.”

Before Josh was even old enough to drive, he was compelled to pen songs from the age of 13. While attending Chichester University, he founded rock outfit The Dumdums. The group’s debut album for MCA Records, It Goes Without Saying, spawned four UK Top 30 hits, earning them a supporting spot on tour with Robbie Williams before the band split up in the midst of creating their sophomore album.

Doyle then relocated to Nashville and began crafting and independently releasing the EPs The End of FearValues and VirtuesMiddletown, and Songs From The Nuclear War Vol. 1 & 2. In 2012, Doyle won Guitar Center’s Singer-Songwriter competition, beating out 17,000 competitors and receiving a three-song EP by Grammy® Award-winning producer John Shanks.

The Shanks-produced, critically-acclaimed Josh Doylereleased in 2013, featured the single “Solarstorms.” Doyle is represented by CTK Management and Neil Warnock of UTA. Josh has appeared at major music festivals including Glastonbury and Hard Rock Calling (2013).

He has also been featured on Jimmy Kimmel Live, CBS This Morning, Fox & Friends, The Adam Carolla Show, Marie, The Daily Buzz, Daytime, The Better Show, Good Day New York, The Nick and Artie Show on DirecTV’s Audience network, ArtistDirect, Nashville Lifestyles and many more.
