Perpetual Motion

Hi, I'm Josie, the violin half of Perpetual Motion. Tom and I love making music together. Our composing styles differ, but our dedication to crafting great music is the same. I have a passion for Latin American music. Salsa, Afro Cuban, Brazilian Choros, and flamenco speak to me. Tom is a master of fingerstyle guitar and open tunings. His main influences are Lawrence Juber and Brain May of Queen. This has led us to write in a wide array of styles. Many things inspire us, including travel, nature, and the people we meet. We hope you enjoy what you hear!

“From the moment the lights come up on them, they are engaged with their audience, sweeping them along on a quick trip around the world. It’s beautiful to see a whole room of people leaving their everyday world behind and being carried, up and away by Perpetual Motion’s lively melodies and expert musicianship. Perpetual Motion creates an escape and brings their audiences with them on a rising wave of fun, beauty, and connection until the very last note. – Hanna Ackerman, Concert Director, Swallow Hill Music

"Josie and Tom are so much fun to see live!! Their music is exuberant, ethereal, and totally engrossing!" Vicki J.

"I can't say enough good things about Perpetual Motion. Every concert I've attended has been outstanding. Whether it's in front of 200 people at Swallow Hill Music or 40 at Mercury Cafe Denver, they always deliver." - Chuck M.
