    Philadelphia's Joshua Marcus has been quietly emerging, banjo in tow, as one of today's most intriguing songwriters. His astonishingly honest songwriting is steeped in Appalachian tradition - at the heart of his songs is the simple beauty and subtlety of a great melody. The strengths of Marcus' songs and his live performances have led to increasing appreciation and critical acclaim, most notably for his 2007 solo debut make/believe. On his latest full-length album, Reverse the Charges, he enlarges the scope and range of his songbook, marking him as one of the most engaging folk songwriters today. He is artist that has figured out what he wants to say and just how to fit it to tune -- the lilting banjo, heartbreaking harmonies and sly lyrical phrasing.
