Perfomance:

Born Joshua A. Christian , Josh is a Charleston, WV native. Previously ​featured in the Charleston Gazette for song writing, his career is growing ​and flourishing .

Many ask where the name Pantry came from. Josh’s friends were quite the ​rowdy bunch and he recalls spending many nights in a place called “the ​dirty paradise” ( a home occupied by his best friends ) . He soon made his ​room in the pantry, and his friends started calling him Pantry. That’s how ​the name was born and it stuck. Josh Started playing music around 2014 , ​with the 3 songs he knew . He brought all his friends to an open mic, the ​bar offered him his own show and the rest is history! Setting the ​attendance record on a Tuesday in Charleston, Josh played many Tuesdays ​for a tip jar and a free meal. Time has passed and Josh knows a little ​more than 3 songs now! Postal Worker by day, performer by night, Josh ​had shared the stage with acts like Daryle Singletary , Charles Wesley ​Godwin , Bill Dotson , The Davisson Brothers , Julia Cole , Mikele Buck , and ​Cody Wickline . Josh and his band, bring it every time they hit the stage.
