Josiah Leming

About

Josiah Leming (born 1989, Morristown, Tennessee) is an American singer-songwriter who performs under the name Josiah and the Bonnevilles. He left home at 17, lived out of his car while touring the US, and parlayed a Warner Bros. deal - secured after an American Idol appearance in 2008 - into a long independent career rooted in Appalachian folk, Americana and country. His 2023 album Endurance broke him to a wider audience, leading to a Grand Ole Opry debut and a 33-date sold-out headlining tour in 2024; in May 2026 he released As Is on Rounder Records.
