Biography
Joshua Long is a singer and multi-instrumentalist based in Boston, MA. Born and raised in central PA, a few miles off the Appalachian trail, he received his Bachelor of Music Performance degree in percussion from Messiah University in 2019. Some of his professional highlights include performing traditional West African music with Azaguno in Accra, Ghana (2016), serving for two tours with the ecumenical music ministry Seven (2018-2019), and his first professional gig as the house bassist for the show A Closer Walk with Patsy Cline (2013). Joshua was active as an evangelical worship leader and musician from 2018-2022, although his formation, study, and spiritual experience ultimately led him to the Catholic Church.
Immediately following his conversion, he served in the inaugural cohort of the St. Thomas More Teaching Fellowship in Boston, and spent two years teaching science and theology, during which he first encountered the classical education movement. Recognizing the difference between what education seemed it ought to be, and what he saw in front of him led to a number of written works and presentations on Catholic education, including speaking at the first annual conference hosted by the Donahue Academy in Ave Maria, FL, presenting the paper Marian Humility: The Antidote to John Dewey’s Pragmatism. His writing has been published in Crisis Magazine and Gravissimum: The Catholic Classical Journal, and his work has been featured in The Catholic School Playbook, and The Catholic Current, hosted by Fr. Robert McTeigue, SJ.
All of these experiences come together and are crystallized in what might be called “The Liberal Art of Music,” or music as it exists in the quadrivium, and is an integral part of an authentic Catholic education.
