Hello beautiful listeners,

This week on Appalachian Vibes my guest is Josh Daniel a singer-songwriter from Charlotte, NC AKA Fernlandia, with an interesting journey. His music exploded during the pandemic when he committed to performing live on social media every day for 2 hours. His fanbase jumped from 5K to 40K (currently hovering closer to 50K) but for Josh, it's all about gratitude and humility. In my interview with Josh it beacame clear the story, or the other part of the story could only be told by the Jamily community members. The self named, self proclaimed avid fan base of 5K people from all over the US and abroad that claim their lives have changed because of Josh and his music. People are getting what one ought to find in church from this artist, I had to dig in to find out why.
