About

So the first “Great Busking Tour” has come to a close and it was a real success! We’re now back at the office cooking up the next one. A big thanks to everyone who has donated online and supported us on this very new and exciting method of sharing our music with the world. And remember, every live stream from the tour is archived here http://www.joshuapanda.com/streaming/ for viewing anytime!

If you missed it….here’s what we did

Someone once told us to take whatever is working for you in the real world and find a way to translate it to the internet. Well, in the world of PandaRue Productions and Joshua Panda that thing has been busking. Just about everyone we meet in Burlington who has heard Joshua or heard of Joshua has seen him playing his guitar on Church St. With that in mind we said, “hey, why not busk our way across the country and stream it live on our website so our fans anywhere can share in the experience?” And we did just that. When you visit JoshuaPanda.com and see the “Live Music Streaming Now” banner flashing it means that Joshua and the boys are somewhere in the US of A playing for good folks on the street and bringing the show to you live via the internet so you can watch at home. If you’d like to further be a part of the busking experience, we’ve installed a virtual guitar case next to the video where you can make a donation that goes directly to the band on the road. Your donations help Joshua, Pete, Ed, Britt, and Jake put gas in “Whiskey,” their 1995 Su-”Bourbon,” and food in their bellies so they can make it to the next town.

About Joshua

Joshua Panda, a twenty-five year-old singer/songwriter from Charlotte, North Carolina, is an exceptional combination of folk and soul, Bob Dylan and Otis Redding, and has traveled with this unique sound to a unique place: Vermont.

Joshua grew up in Huntersville, NC where at age three he started singing gospel music at Rockwell Baptist Church. From the church, he adopted the gospel hand wave, the rhythm, the wailing, and most importantly the embodiment of spirit. Ever since those early days in the choir, Joshua has oozed with uncontainable emotion and passion.

Integrating such soulful energy into his original pieces, Joshua has captured a spirit in his performance, which encompasses both the flailing of a fervent preacher and the intimacy of your best friend telling you a story.
