Josh Kaufman is a Grammy-nominated multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, arranger, and record producer born in Paterson, New Jersey, and based in Kingston, New York. A member of the folk supergroup Bonny Light Horseman alongside Anaïs Mitchell and Eric D. Johnson, and of the rock-folk project Muzz with Paul Banks of Interpol, he has built one of the most impressive production resumes in American roots and indie music. His credits include Bob Weir's 'Blue Mountain,' Craig Finn's solo albums, The Hold Steady, Hiss Golden Messenger's 'I'm People' (2026), and two Bonny Light Horseman albums including 'Keep Me on Your Mind/See You Free' (2024). He contributed arrangements and guitar to Taylor Swift's 'Folklore' and 'Evermore,' both of which won the Grammy Award for Album of the Year. His 2024 solo album 'What Do The People In Your Head Say To Each Other?' showcases his eclectic production sensibility. He plays guitar, pedal steel, mandolin, banjo, keyboards, and drums. Described by Bob Weir as 'the magical factor that would put the glue in the groove,' Kaufman is a quiet force behind some of the most celebrated folk and indie albums of the past decade.
