Josh Garrels (born Joshua Michael Garrels on September 25, 1980 in South Bend, Indiana) is an American singer-songwriter. Garrels has been a lot of things: son of a hippie commune, skater boy, suburban drug dealer, music/design student, coffee roaster, urban shepherd, and now nation and globe-trotting minstrel of hope and healing. In his early twenties, he came into the Christian faith, which became a major thread in his musical journey.
