Joshua Radin, Nov 5, Madrid, $41-$90

The Ohio singer-songwriter has recorded ten studio albums, and his songs have been used in a number of films and TV series, with his most successful album being 2008’s Simple Times.

The new album is, One Day Home, his tenth full-length LP and first independent release since 2017 and his 35-city, tour includes a stop right here in midtown KC. The new record is described as his most ambitious and deeply personal release to date and his most introspective album yet.

In August, Radin released a stripped-down, piano-and-vocal companion set of all thirteen tracks from One Day Home. These acoustic interpretations were originally part of an exclusive, 26-track, 2LP vinyl set that included both the original songs and their acoustic renditions.

“One Day Home is about love and loss,” describes Radin. “It’s the journey of a romantic relationship: the ups and downs, the moments you chase, and the moments you accidentally destroy. The memories of a partnership can sometimes feel stronger than the actual connection, the ecstasy of finding a like-minded soul, and the devastation upon losing them. It’s about discovering what the word ‘home’ actually means.”
