Press Kit
Santa Rosa
Josie Lockhart is the new solo endeavour from Aaron Miller, an artist most easily recognized as one of three “frontmen” in the synth-pop trio Sphynx, who in the last few years played shows with Walk The Moon, Imagine Dragons, Jungle and Questlove.
The debut album, Santa Rosa was mixed by Chris Coady (Beach House, Grizzly Bear, Future Islands, Yeah Yeah Yeahs) and mastered by Jerry Tubb (Willie Nelson, Gary Clark Jr, David Byrne). The album explores themes of grief, isolation, and love, set against a backdrop of a super-natural reimagining of the American West that Miller has spent years traversing in a tour van. Miller ruminates on the afterlife and human existence while recounting tales of adventures both true and imagined. Welcome to Santa Rosa…
The first single “Like Lightning” was released in Sept 2020 and exclusively premiered as the KUTX 98.9 Song of the Day. Josie has released five singles to date that perfectly showcase both his songwriting and artistry, combining his signature mix of indie rock, psychedelia, and Americana.
"If There's A Heaven" was selected by radio station Lightning 100 as their Hitmaker Track of the Week and on the week of the album release KUTX 98.9 featured “Dirty Money” as their Song of the Day. The singles have also been featured on BBC (UK), NPR, American Songwriter, Obscure Sound and Fresh On The Net, as well as picking up indie international radio-play in the US, UK, Australia, Spain, and Brazil.
The official Worldwide release for "Santa Rosa" is set for January 14th 2022.
