Today, Josiah and the Bonnevilles released their new album As Is. The 10-song collection was co-produced by Josiah Leming and Konrad Snyder, and marks his first full length album release since his 2023 breakthrough Endurance.

Leming has spent decades working at his craft, first learning piano at just 8 years old and writing his first songs at 13. As a teenager, he lived in his car and toured the country, performing for anyone who would listen until it led him to a major label record deal at 19. When that ended, he began releasing music independently, relying solely on the music and his undeniable gift for crafting relatable songs that led to a devoted fan base he calls the Bonnevilles. He appreciates them so much that he includes them in his artist name. “They’re the reason I’m able to make music,” he adds.

In 2024, Leming mounted a completely sold out 33-date headline tour and performed at Newport Folk Festival, Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, and The Grand Ole Opry. To date, his music has been streamed over 400 million times globally across all platforms.

The ten songs that comprise As Is were whittled down from nearly 100 songs written over the last year and includes co-writes with acclaimed songwriters Natalie Hemby, Joel Little, and Scott Harris. Instead of reproducing the signature sound he honed on Endurance, he decided to expand it. “I think it would have been hard to keep my excitement to go out on the road with another acoustic record.” The album finds him going more electric than ever before, even as he unplugs from the digital world. “I needed to work quietly away from the internet. I felt like it was important to pull back this last year and try to understand what’s on my heart.”

“The only goal for me is to make something real and honest that can get people through the day,” Leming explains about his hope for As Is. “I gave everything I have for this album. I laid it all on the table, which is what I always want to do.”
