Josh Klaus can be summed in two words: Passionate and professional. Josh has played over 50 weddings, dozens of corporate events, and thousands of shows. Josh has played at venues that range from intimate gatherings in small coffee shops to full-blown concerts in large arenas.
Based in Austin, Texas, Josh has been performing live for well over 15 years, covering just about anything -- brand new, super old, fast, slow, male, female, pop, rock, R&B, soul, country, etc. If there is a song out there that moves him or moves you, he will learn it, love it, and play it.

May 12, 2026We booked Josh to sing/play at our corporate event in downtown Austin. From start to finish, Josh was easy to work with, communicated at each step, and was flexible when we have to start the reception a few minutes early!
Josh's music is incredible - he's a real talent!

June 8, 2024If you are looking for a live wedding singer, a wedding DJ, or even better BOTH... look no further than Josh! Josh sang for our ceremony and DJ'd our reception and both turned out absolutely perfect. Josh has the voice of an angel and was a perfect addition to our ceremony. He is willing to learn songs that aren't on his song list and it made our ceremony all the more special. When people say music can make or break the reception, they mean it! Without Josh, our reception would've been dull. He genuinely kept everyone dancing all night! We highly recommend that you hire Josh for all of your wedding music needs, he will not disappoint you or your guests!

March 10, 2024I dubbed Josh the "dance floor chaos coordinator" because he brought the chaos in the best way! We gave him free reign to play whatever he thought was best and he made sure the dance floor was packed all night. He played acoustic during our cocktail hour which was a hit as well. The guests had great reviews and we had such a great experience with Josh. We cannot thank him enough for helping make our wedding day perfect!

February 27, 2024Josh Klaus is by far the best DJ I've ever seen at an event let alone for our wedding. He is an absolute professional, makes sure to respect the client's wishes, and knows how to have an absolute blast. He definitely feels like one of your friends by the end of the night. He killed it.

February 23, 2024Josh was the DJ for our wedding. He is INCREDIBLE. He played guitar for our ceremony, dinner, first dance, and private last dance, including learning several songs we requested in under 2 weeks. He’s a great guitarist and singer, so much so that many of our guests thought that some of the songs were recordings. Our friends couldn’t stop commenting on how awesome our DJ was. Josh has tons of energy, read the room perfectly, kept the party going, interacted with our guests, and seemed like he was having a blast doing it. I seriously cannot recommend Josh enough for any event

Testimonials
"Josh is a fantastic performer. He played for both my ceremony and reception, and even accompanied my best friend while she sang a special song for my husband and I. He showed up early to practice with her before the wedding. He is no only an incredibly talented musician, but a true professional. I highly recommend Josh Klaus!"
Anna Reid
"Josh was the best! He performed during our cocktail hour and everyone was obsessed with him! We had so many guests come up to us during and after the wedding telling us how amazing Josh was. He had the most awesome combination of songs to play. My only wish was that we weren't taking pictures so I could've enjoyed the show longer!"
Lariza Herbert
"Josh Klaus performed at our wedding before and during the ceremony, as well as during dinner and he did an amazing job! We received so many compliments from our guests because he was able to play for so long and so beautifully. We asked him to play a few specific songs during the ceremony, which he executed beautifully. He picked out the rest of the songs and did a great job choosing music that created the exact ambiance we were wanting. He is professional, friendly and a very talented musician. We highly recommend him for any event!"
Francisca Acuna
"Josh was one of the most AMAZING parts of my wedding. This man can sing like you would not believe! Josh arrived on time and was ready to go for both rehearsal and the wedding. If I did my wedding over the two things I wouldn’t change is marrying my husband and having Josh perform at my wedding."
