Joshua Boronkay: Humboldt Music Behind the Redwood Curtain

On Sunday March 4th, I walked into a concert called Monsters of Folk not exactly sure what I was in for, The three players were Berel Alexander, Joshua Boronkay and Cyber Camel. All excellent musicians in their own right but each very different from one another. I had a wonderful time sharing a slice of life with this thoughtful, articulate storyteller who charmed the audience with his original lyrics and sound. Boronkay easily tells intimate stories of life, love,and loss openly sharing his vulnerability and passion. Near the end of his set he called the band from Cyber Camel up on stage with him and easily went from folk to funk bringing the entire audience to their feet filling the dance floor.

Joshuah Boronkay graduated from Humboldt State University with a music major in Bass. He played with Berel Alexander and the Bucky Walters band for a few years. He now lives in Oakland and has been singing with the Oakland interfaith choir while developing his solo sound. He recently traveled to Los Angeles where he recorded his first EP .His vocals are strong and inviting. He has a unique sound and has clear pitch, and tight control of his voice. My prediction is that this gentleman is one to watch in the years to come.

Boronkay is putting out songs he has written with the intent of exempting himself from any genre outside of being a songwriter and singer. He will be releasing an Americana EP, then an indie-pop release and finally a big production blues/funk release.There is no doubt this entertainer can easily fill a room. He has and will find a passionate and dedicated fan base. You can friend him on Facebook.
