Josiah Queen is back with “Damascus Road,” his third studio album, released October 23. The 14-track project draws inspiration from the biblical account of Saul’s encounter with Jesus on the road to Damascus, exploring what happens when faith changes the direction of someone’s life.
“Damascus Road is really personal to me because that story is all about being changed by an encounter with God and never being the same after,” Queen shared.
Known for his folk-rock sound and personal songwriting, Queen recorded with a full band for the first time on this album. The result brings a fuller sound to songs dealing with spiritual struggles, redemption and everyday faith.
The album opens with “out of breath,” a song about making the most of a life devoted to God. Other tracks include the chart-topping single “demons,” the reflective “when I see You” and “sundays,” which looks at living out faith beyond church services.
The release follows Queen’s successful 2025 album “Mt. Zion,” which featured the Dove Award-winning song “Dusty Bibles.”
Queen will take “Damascus Road” on the road himself next spring, launching an 18-city North American arena tour in April 2027.
