Josh Martinez does balancing act for intimate audience

E-mail Print PDF

Lethbridge is a tough town to put on a show.
 I was expecting a lot more people to see Vancouver raised, Portland , Oregon based pop/ R and B star Josh Martinez at the Slice, Nov. 15.


 There were several opening acts as well bJosh Martinez balancing a water glass on his head , standing on one leg. Photo by Richard Ameryut perhaps 20 people to see them.
 Martinez was having a lot of fun though.


 Just  because he could, he sang appealing melodies and danced around the stage, all the while balancing a cup of water on the top of his head.


 He alternated between rapping and singing with quite a bit of soul. While I’m not that familiar with his music, his set, which wound up his latest tour, included several tracks from his latest CD ‘Blotto,” as well as audience favourite ‘I’m Just a Dude,’ which wound down his show.


 I was fixated on the  water glass though. But he didn’t even spill a drop not even while dancing on one foot. He stopped keeping track at 10 minutes, after which he put his glass on the DJ's table and had a swig.
