Josh “Socalled” Dolgin is a pianist, accordionist and producer based in Montreal, Quebec. With 6 solo albums to his name, he has performed all over the world for over a decade, and his list of collaborators knows no generational, social, cultural or religious boundaries. In 2003, his collaborative album Hiphopkhasene with British violinist Sophie Solomon won a German Record Critics' Prize (Preis der deutschen Schallplattenkritik). In 2011, Socalled returned with “Sleepover”, which featured over 30 special guests and was nominated for a Juno. Then, in 2013, he launched the collection of songs composed for “The Season”, an indie puppet musical fable for the 21st century - which he also wrote and directed. In 2019, he launches his studio-recorded version of “The Second Season”, featuring Fred Wesley. When not in the studio or on the road, Socalled writes cookbooks, draws comics, edits videos and practices Kurt Weill on the piano.
