Darke County Center for the Arts will present singer Joshua Carswell at Henry St. Clair Memorial Hall in Greenville on Saturday, October 11. The second of DCCA's Artists Series concerts, the show begins at 8 p.m. According to DCCA Artistic Director Keith Rawlins, local audiences have already received a sneak peek at the young man. “Josh is a close friends to members of the Annie Moses Band, and performs with them when he's available; so all of those in the audience at the initial concert of our current Artists Series season featuring the Annie Moses Band were treated to a small sampling of what's in store when he's in the spotlight,” Rawlins explained. “To say that he wowed the audience with his vocal and interpretive abilities might be an understatement; I strongly doubt that anyone who was there for that enticing snippet will miss Josh's show,” Rawlins concluded.

Just 25 years old, Carswell has already performed at Carnegie Hall and released his first solo album featuring great American standards including “I Only Have Eyes for You” and Hank Williams' plaintive “I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry.” According to Mr. Rawlins, Joshua Carswell has been singing since he was a three-year-old performing solos at church. “Josh loves multiple musical styles and genres, and has the extraordinary skill to perform and interpret almost any song in a manner that immediately captures the audience and leaves them wanting more,” Rawlins said.

Jim and Enid Goubeaux are sponsoring the Joshua Carswell concert. Additionally, the Ohio Arts Council helped fund this program with state tax dollars to encourage economic growth, educational excellence and cultural enrichment for all Ohioans. DCCA also receives operating support from the Harry D. and Esther Stephens Memorial as well as funding from the Ketrow Foundation and Lydia E. Schaurer Memorial Trust Fund.
