Solo / Young Folk

In November 2017, Josh Lovelace released his solo family album Young Folk. Young Folk is the result of a lifelong passion for children's music, which inspired Josh to become a professional musician. Prior to recording, Lovelace became good friends with members of the group Sharon, Lois & Bram, and he considers them mentors.[3] Sharon Hampson and Bram Morrison sing on Young Folk's "Sing a Song For Me".[4]
