Josiah and the Bonnevilles is the product of years of persistence, sacrifice, and unwavering belief in honest songwriting. Led by Josiah Leming, the project began with humble beginnings in East Tennessee, where a teenage Leming lived out of his car, performing anywhere he could. That determination led to an early major label deal at just nineteen—but when it ended, he rebuilt independently, cultivating a devoted fanbase he calls the “Bonnevilles,” a name he proudly incorporates into his artist identity.

In 2024, that grassroots journey reached new heights with a sold-out headlining tour and growing international recognition. Known for his raw emotion and deep connection with listeners, Leming channels personal experience into music that resonates widely. His tenth album, As Is, reflects both growth and reinvention—expanding beyond his acoustic roots into a fuller, more electric sound while maintaining his signature vulnerability.

Raised in Morristown, Tennessee, as one of nine siblings, Leming’s perspective is shaped by a strong sense of community and empathy for working-class struggles. On As Is, he shifts focus outward, using storytelling and character-driven songs to explore universal themes of hardship, resilience, and hope. Collaborating with acclaimed writers like Natalie Hemby and Joel Little, and co-producing with Konrad Snyder, he crafted a dynamic and emotionally rich record.

Ultimately, As Is stands as a deeply human collection—one that moves through heartbreak and healing, offering listeners something real, reflective, and quietly powerful.
