Josh Mellicker music bio:

Josh started playing guitar at the age of 5, and booked his first paying gig within the first year. After first hearing Joe Pass's "Virtuoso" album as a your teenager, he became obsessed with attaining proficiency playing jazz, and spent hours every day dropping a record needle on Joe Pass’s records to study Pass's licks over and over.

At 17, he moved to Portland, Oregon, where he had the privilege to play with a variety of well known jazz artists including Mel Brown, Paul Wertico, Doug Rodby, Leroy Vinnegar, Ben Wolfe, Phil Baker, Eddie Weid and Mark Simon, along with several local jazz ensembles, as well as playing and arranging for the Mt. Hood College “A” Lab Band.
