Young Original is an acoustic band with a passion for breathing new life into classic American music. Since forming in 2022, they have delighted audiences across the country with their riveting live shows and dynamic performance videos that have racked up millions of views online. Their original songs, Doubt Your Love and Perfect World, were featured in NPR’s Tiny Desk Top Shelf, and their powerhouse live show has taken them on a nationwide Christmas tour with legendary pianist Jim Brickman. The band features a striking combination of instrumental mastery and equally stunning vocal harmonies.
Each member of Young Original is an accomplished performer in their own right: Benjamin Morren is a firebrand pianist and composer who plays too many instruments to count; Josie James is a stunning vocalist possessed of a seemingly infinite vocal range; the prodigious Silas Johnson started cello lessons at age three and has performed with The Johnson Strings to sold-out crowds in Branson and abroad; Joe Xiques is an inventive music producer who has traveled the world playing folk music on a plethora of instruments.
The unique fusion of jazz, classical, folk, and pop influences has made this group an absolute must-see for all music lovers. Their dynamic performances and laid-back, genuine connection with audiences are worth experiencing for yourself!
