About

Maybe it’s time, Time for us to see, Open our hearts to the true change we need. - From Maybe It's Time

Josh Gillespie is an accomplished musician and former political strategist originally from Indianapolis, Indiana. Growing up in a family of musicians, Josh has been playing guitar and singing for over two decades. He has also worked in politics, bringing a unique perspective to his art.

Influenced by bands such as R.E.M., Rush, Foo Fighters, Caedmon's Call, and Derek Webb, Josh's music is a blend of alternative rock, pop, and folk. His dynamic performances and soulful vocals have earned him a devoted following in Indianapolis and beyond.

After years of working in the partisan world of politics, Josh found himself disillusioned and frustrated with the divisiveness that seemed to permeate every aspect of public life. His first album, "Make Something Happen Here, released in 2021, served as a "divorce album" from partisan politics, allowing him to explore a more personal and introspective side of his songwriting.

Whether he's playing an intimate acoustic set or rocking out with his full band, Josh always delivers a memorable performance that showcases his impressive talent and passion for music.
