He enjoys the freedom of playing covers in Midnight Metaphor! "..and the energy of our live performances becomes an unforgettable night!"
Drums
Self Taught Drummer with 25 years experience. With Pop Punk, hardcore/punk, reggae, Hip Hop roots. Playing drums has taken me places I thought I’d never be. I’ve met some of my best friends playing music. Drums are my way of escape from the routine of everyday life. My drumming career might not last but Wu-Tang is forever
BasS & Backing Vox
Holding down the bass for Midnight Metaphor, Josh approaches his role with a commitment to supporting the band's overall sound.
A veteran of numerous Providence-area bands, Josh brings over two decades of experience in both covers and original acts. In addition to Midnight Metaphor, you’ll also find him bringing the low end on bass for Malice In Chains, an Alice In Chains tribute band.
