The Dreamers Disease EP

“Saving Grace” is a song by American singer-songwriter Joshua Ketchmark. It is the first track from his second EP the Dreamers Disease and was released as the EP’s first single on August 16, 2012

The first single of ‘The Dreamers Diseases’ “Saving Grace” is your quintessential summer anthem. With a Bon Jovi-inspired feel, Joshua’s lazy southern drawl fills in space between the rambling guitars, bringing back memories of road trips with the wind in your hair and music filtering in with the sunlight. “Mason Jar” is infused with electrifying choruses and explosive guitar riffs, with a Lenny Kravitz feel meets Kid Rock attitude that immediately gets your pulse going. On “Should Have Been,” Joshua captures the bittersweet emotion wrapped up in the romance that could never be, emotive vocals layer over the melancholic steel, his lyrics have the distinctive ability to find common ground between hope and regret. “Step Back” recalls the tumultuous journey of self-discovery, on a ballad that meanders gently through the heartache, the lack of bells and whistles translates the subtle comfort in having someone to lean on. Joshua proves his strengths in the the telling of each story, the instrumentation constructed in a way that inspires perfect visual memories of youth, from the slow pull of the steel pedal to the rushing acoustic guitar.

“The Dreamers Diseases” is the 2nd EP in a series of 3 that Ketchmark will be releasing in 2012, glittering with a heavy alt-country influence that is tangled with and inspired by summer days full of wanderlust, he finds a remarkable comfort in the raw, organic aesthetic. Recorded at 1 Tree Studio in Nashville, Dreamer features Joshua’s eclectic and nostalgic songwriting talents, as well as appearances from Nashville players such as Tony Paoletta (Pedal Steal; Dixie Chicks, Travis Tritt) and Dave Webb (Bass; Randall Bramblett, Sugarland). Inspired by short-lived romances and fervid moments when your childhood crashes head first into adulthood, “The Dreamers Disease” will capture the attention of youthful dreamers and hopeful wanderers alike.
