Propelled by VH1's hit show "Bands on the Run," Josh Dodes has developed a loyal national following for his unique style of high-energy, piano-based pop-rock. His critically-acclaimed debut "Get Up" ("****... a surprisingly accomplished debut album" - All Music Guide) was voted one of the top 5 CDs of the year by the worldwide customer base of online record giant CD Baby. Josh has built upon this success through regular touring - he has played venues such as Irving Plaza and Bowery Ballroom (NYC), Camden Yards (Baltimore), The Tabernacle and The Cotton Club (Atlanta), The Kennedy Center (Washington, DC), and House of Blues (Boston) - and airplay on independent and commercial radio stations across the U.S. In the past two years, he has opened for Avril Lavigne, Pat Benatar, Duncan Sheik, The B-52's, Alana Davis, BBMak, and funk legend Maceo Parker (who asked Josh to do some touring as his organist!). Based in Burlington, VT, Josh routinely plays to riveted audiences throughout the entire Northeast. Fueled by fan favorites such as "Be My Friend, But Be Naked," which fans have pushed to #1 on MP3.com’s AAA chart, Josh's high-octane live show has been a major element of his evolution from NYC local favorite to an emerging national act. Josh has just released his latest full-length album, "Freak," which industry insiders are already calling his best yet. Website Discography Radio: "Be My Friend, But Be Naked" (college/AAA), "American Angel" (college/AAA) Singles from "Freak" will go to college and AAA stations this winter. Check for chart news!

Lyrics
Got a little bit of ache in my knees 'cause they're shaking Inside these tuxedo pants Came to see you getting married, your ghost to be buried You asked if I'd save a dance And now I'm trembling all over, trying to stay cool inside Looking over my shoulder for that funeral ride Saving songs for you Well, that's the one thing I do well And losing hold of you This time Is gonna hurt like hell 'Cause all this past with you It's over much too soon So tonight let's dance Back to Parker St. Well, I remember that night Van the Man at the light, we were dancing in time In our separate cars And all the people on their ride Well, they couldn't quite decide if it was planned Or maybe made in the stars And sometimes I still wonder If love can last through time 'Cause baby, that star we fell under Fell under us on the ride (Chorus) I wanna fly through a tear in the sky, you could hold me I wanna slow this whole thing down just for a while I wanna ring up Ming, get the table they saved for the perfect night Just one perfect night I wanna see Copley T-stop, a Sharp shop, the play cop I need a wink from the sweetest girl you've ever seen I need a drink, and a shrink, and a blink just to miss you sweeping by As you go sweeping by (well, just look at you) I think I better get rolling, our moment was stolen and anyway I still can't dance It was really good to see you - you look great And he's a lucky man He's a lucky man, because 'Cause for him, there's no hurry There's just this long sweet ride And as for me, don't worry 'Cause I've got this wedding band inside, and it's Saving songs for you Well, this is it, honey So fare thee well And losing hold of you Well, man, it hurts like hell But after all these years, it's just as well 'Cause all this past with you It's over much too soon Even if we never danced Back to Parker St. We were dizzy from dancing Down on Parker St.
