Not much happens in Boonah. Nestled in the Scenic Rim an hour west from Brisbane, there's one main street littered with three pubs, four bottle-shops and a handful of nosy locals. Here, time moves slowly. It is in this sleepy town that young acoustic artist Josiah Hayton has honed his craft, spending time reflecting and watching the world go by.

Josiah's songs tread the lines between alternative, rock and folk genres with nods to his influences Chet Faker, Ed Sheeran and Pete Murray. Josiah has been a regular at youth festivals, cafes and open mics around South East Queensland for the past two years.
