Tom Rhodes and Josiah Knight | Live at Reno Public Market for Artown

A Very Special Evening with Tom Rhodes and Josiah Knight. This free, all-ages show is a very special evening featuring Rhodes, star of NBC's The Voice and an international recording artist. Before you hear Tom Rhodes’s voice, you feel it - like a left jab to the jaw. Raspy and soulful, like Ray LaMontagne or a young Van Morrison, but with a soaring intensity that recalls Jackson Browne. Your eyes adjust. You regain your bearings. A familiar feeling washes over you: Have I heard this before? Then, a split-second later, comes the power-punch: the words - direct, poetic, timeless, true. Like a good boxer, Tom Rhodes mastered this one-two technique through years of training. The Oakland, California-based songwriter has spent more than a decade honing his honest, heartfelt brand of Americana, and learning to craft songs whose truth matches his passion as a performer. In that time, he has performed all over the US and Europe, released five albums, 2 EPs, numerous singles, and even appeared on season 9 of The Voice.

Rhodes’ songs continue to be featured in movies, TV shows on all of the major networks, commercials, and more as more and more people hear about his message and style. Reno based artist, Josiah Knight, has created a niche for himself in the Northern Nevada and California music scene. An amazingly talented songwriter, he weaves honest intriguing human stories with a style of guitar playing that draws the listener into a soundscape that begs to be framed.
