Artist History In 1987, Josh Alan Friedman sold his soul to the devil at the Crossroads of the World (Broadway & 42nd Street) and moved to Texas. There he barnstormed the state, earning the sobriquet "Josh Alan, Czar of Atomic Acoustic Guitar." He won three Dallas Observer Music Awards for Best Acoustic Act, and rocked whole arenas with his Guild D-40, opening for such acts as Johnny Winter, Bad Company, War, Huey Lewis & the News, Marianne Faithful, John Hammond, Mitch Ryder, Lonnie Mack, Gatemouth Brown, Koko Taylor, Hal Ketchum and Shawn Colvin. Guitar trademarks include acoustic feedback, surf instrumentals and an acoustic medley of Black exploitation movie soundtracks.
