READ ABOUT IT
“The band makes smart, solid rock with agile pop hooks and a deep undercurrent of soul….. It is Memphis, after all.
-Listen, Dammit
“…one of my favorite acts I have seen here, and that is a lot of bands.”
-Jaz Dixon (Paste Magazine/Live At Paste)
“Cosby’s lyrics are like pages taken from a Lovelorn writer’s diary…
The blend o fmusical flavors adds a winning Memphis twist that sets this apart from the guitar jangle that typically accompanies such romantic strife.”
-Hyperbolium
Star and Micey's first performance at Blue Canoe in Tupelo, MS was so well received that we hope to keep the band in our constant rotation of booking. The energy they brought to the stage was contagious turning an ordinary night into something exceptional. Look forward to this amazingly talented band's return.
-Meredith Martin /Blue Canoe Booking

BIO
If your best friends were in a band, wouldn’t you go see them every chance you got? And if they ended up writing all of your new favorite songs, you’d tell all of your other friends about them, right? So every time your best friends play a show, all of your other best friends are there enjoying it with you. A new family like community is formed, and each show is a reunion that you actually want to attend. This is what it’s like to be a fan of Star & Micey.
Joshua Cosby and Geoff Smith have been playing music together since their elementary years growing up in Memphis, TN. Much later Josh and Geoff met Nick Redmond at a local pub and began an appreciation and admiration for each other’s songs. The three troubadours began making music together as Star & Micey, a name they derived from an inspiring homeless couple. Nick introduced the band to his co-workers at the world famous Ardent Studios and they – just like anyone who comes across the band – quickly fell in love and signed Star & Micey to their independent label, Ardent Music.
In October of 2009, Star & Micey’s self-titled debut album was released and the band toured the Mid-South, Midwest, and Gulf Coast. Out of necessity, Josh, Geoff and Nick began performing as a three-piece, playing melody instruments with their hands and percussion with their feet. After winning over audiences everywhere they played, the trio returned to Memphis and augmented their lineup. They enlisted multi-talented singer/songwriters Jeremy Stanfill and Adam Woodard to play drums and accordion respectively, while adding the incredible Memphis Symphony Orchestra violinist, Jessie Munson.
Josh, Geoff, Nick, Jeremy, Jessie, and Adam are the current incarnation of Star & Micey, as well as your new best friends. -
