Josh Kidding With You 🥁
�Originally from South Florida, Josh picked up the drums at an early age after flubbing his way through middle school flute. “I wanted an instrument that makes people dance and didn’t require me to read music, ha!” When Josh moved up to Gainesville for college in 2007, he immediately gravitated to the town’s robust music scene. That’s where long time friendships and bandmates were made. Josh has played in several local bands; Marc and the Believers, The Matt Hobbs Bands, Mindrise, Gypsy Tears, Big Uly, Fast Lane, & J2K! He’s currently performing with G.R.A.S. & Tasana. When he’s not out playing the s**t of the drums, he’s caring for his lovely Mom, Sherri, and French kissing his beautiful wife Gabrielle!
