On the 8th of June Canadian singer-songwriter Josh Taerk releases the first track from his new album ‘Here’s To Change’. The single - the album’s title track - reinvigorates the 70s and 80s rock music that has inspired him, his major influences including Rock & Roll icons Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty, Neil Young and Bob Dylan.

‘Here’s To Change’ is an upbeat anthem about celebrating and embracing life’s changes. Josh explains, “For me, this single is about embracing the idea that there are no guarantees in life. Nothing is ever unchangeable, unmovable and as forever as it appears to you at that moment. Everything changes, and if that’s the case then it’s never too late to change from the person you are to the person you want to be, to change your path, your dream, even change your mind.”

The single also features guest vocals from Josh’s mentor and friend, Rock & Roll Hall-of-Famer John Oates, who was excited to be involved, "I've enjoyed getting to know Josh Taerk and his music over the last few years…I think it is Josh's best work to date.”

‘Here’s To Change’ wonderfully demonstrates the unity between Josh and his core band - Nashville based producer and lead guitarist Teddy Morgan (Kevin Costner & Modern West), bass guitarist Park Chisolm (Kevin Costner & Modern West) and drummer Richard Medek – who all shared Josh’s vision for this album. With ‘Here’s To Change’ Josh “wanted to capture the emotional quality that can only come from a group of musicians playing off each other, feeding off each other. I wanted the feel of the record, the tempo, the rhythm, the starts and stops in each song to feel more alive, I wanted a more human sound.”

Josh may only be 24 but he is already able to look back on many successes. His debut 2013 album ‘Josh’, for which he was commended for his intelligent and poignant song writing, showcased a maturity beyond his years. On the live scene he toured through Canada, the US and the UK, reached the semi-finals of Indie Week Canada, built a worldwide fan base and impressed industry peers like John Oates and fellow Rock-‘n’-Roll-Hall-of-Famer Max Weinberg (Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band) – whom he supported in New Jersey.

The new album ‘Here’s To Change’ released in July marks a huge development in the creative process for Josh, taking a more traditional Rock ’n’ Roll approach and adding his own modern twists – the outcome is something he is enormously proud of. Josh exclaims, ‘I am so excited for people to hear this!’
