Grammy award songwriter, Josh Kear visits The Webb School

2008-06-03 09:40:05

Josh Kear is a talented songwriter who is knowledgeable about many aspects of the music business, so teacher Ralph Jones approached him in February about making a presentation to and conducting a question-answer session with Webb students. Josh was amenable and came to Webb on April 23. He performed two of his songs and then spent almost two hours speaking with a captivated group of students.

Jones met Kear when Kear was a student at MTSU in the 1990s and has stayed in touch with him since then. Kear has made his living as a songwriter for the past decade. Garth Brooks has recorded some of Josh’s songs, and last year Jimmy Buffet recorded Josh’s “Bama Breeze." He co-wrote “Before He Cheats,” which was presented to Carrie Underwood, who fell in love with the song and recorded it. Since then, the song has been nominated for several awards and won two Grammy awards in February 2008 for Best Song and Best Video.
