NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Platinum-selling songwriter Josh Mirenda is stepping into the limelight as an artist with his anticipated debut studio album, Wind Up, available for purchase and stream on all major platforms today via Average Joes Entertainment.
“Making my first album was something I will never forget,” shares Mirenda. “It was exciting, it was terrifying, it wasn’t easy, but it was more than rewarding and worth it. All of the people involved with making this record are the absolute best at what they do and I am blessed to have them be a part of this.”
Wind Up includes several previously-released singles, such as “Til’ The Neon’s Gone,” a captivating track that has garnered 3 million streams worldwide and received acclaim from Billboard, Taste of Country, Sounds Like Nashville, and more. In addition to these singles, the album introduces new tracks like “Mini Bar,” a spirited country song featuring professional golfer John Daly. Mirenda also revisits a pivotal song in his career with an acoustic rendition of Dierks Bentley’s “Somewhere On A Beach,” which earned ASCAP’s Song of the Year award in 2017. Collaborating with esteemed Nashville songwriters such as Ashley Gorley, Rhett Akins, Dallas Davidson, and Brett James, among others, Mirenda brings together a diverse and talented team for this project.
The album consists of 13 tracks that emerged during Mirenda’s tenure behind the scenes as a songwriter, contributing to releases by Jason Aldean, Dierks Bentley, Parmalee, Brantley Gilbert, and more. Having spent considerable time in the shadows, Mirenda is now ready to step into the spotlight with Wind Up.
“I am winding up for what I hope will be a LONG career in country music,” said Mirenda. “I hope that it makes the listener excited to hear more.”
