The band name Canopy Red may be still making its way through the Christian rock ranks, but the threesome's made several intentions very clear. Bottom line, these are three fresh-faced but remarkably cohesive players from Tallahassee, FL whose goal is to impact this generation with the Gospel, coupled with undeniable musicality that brings to mind bands like the Fray, Sanctus Real, Relient K, The Afters and other like-minded modern rock innovators. "Like our name says, we want to show more people, both saved and unsaved, what it means to live under the shelter of Christ's blood." Joshua Schmidt first began learning guitar at the age of twelve. He quickly fell in love with playing music and is passionate about writing and listening to music. His listening tastes include everything from alternative rock to folk and even hip-hop and pop. In addition to music Josh enjoys baseball, soccer, photography and traveling. He is also an aspiring collector of Legos and enjoys reading. Joshua has a passion for missions and tries to show the love of God through his actions with anybody he meets. 16
