The West End Fair will get a double dose of “Josh” when The Josh Squared Band hits the Main Stage in Gilbert for sets at 3 and 4:15 p.m. Aug. 22.

The central Pennsylvania band, performing various genres from the 1940s up through contemporary hits, first performed at the fair in 2017.

The Josh Squared Band’s current lineup features Josh Tindall on vocals and keyboard, Josh Duma on bass and saxophone, Kali Rodgers on vocals, Misti Layser on drums and Brian Levering on guitar. Other musicians join the band for special occasions.

“I believe my wife coined the term ‘Josh Squared’ originally at a cookout,” Duma said, adding that he and Tindall also perform as a duo, under the moniker Josh Squared or The Joshes.

Before forming the duo in 2015 and the band in 2016, Duma and Tindall - both residing in Elizabethtown - had worked together in various groups since summer 2007. Duma’s passion for music, he noted, started in high school.

“The energy of performing in front of a crowd drew me in. I’ve been hooked ever since. I was lucky growing up in a place where I could experience and enjoy many styles and artists, from jazz, rock, R&B, funk and country.”

Born in Nevada, Duma grew up in New York’s Catskill Mountains. As a bassist, “the Red Hot Chili Peppers, James Brown and Parliament Funkadelic were all part of my younger musical exploration,” said Duma, who relocated to Pennsylvania after college.

“My mom would listen to ’50s and ’60s radio as we drove around,” he continued, “and I would pick up on classic Motown and early rock ‘n’ roll. I also spent a lot of time listening to jazz records from various saxophonists, as my first musical instrument was saxophone.”

Though the group, which has played Musikfest in Bethlehem for many years, recorded some videos in recent years, “we have not released an official recording together,” Duma noted. “Who knows what the future might hold?”

For now, the band revels in the live-shows experience and fans’ enjoyment

“The highlight of being a musician,” Duma said, “is performing for crowds week after week. Getting to live as an entertainer across the state of Pennsylvania, Atlantic City, Wildwood, Toledo, Ocean City and more. We want you to dance, celebrate and have a better day because you saw our show.”
