Josh plays music ranging from Americana to Jazz to World Music and works with many groups in central New York, including Mark Doyle’s Guitar Noir, Samba Laranja, Mary Fahl, Jeffrey Pepper Rodgers, & Syracuse Stage. His love for Brazilian music has led him to travel extensively throughout Brazil, studying folk and popular music and working with artists Vera Figueiredo, Flavio Pimenta, Tribores, and Quinteto da Paraíba. He was a featured headliner of the Batuka! 2010 International Drum Fest in São Paulo.
Since becoming a part-time Professor of Percussion at Syracuse University, Dekaney has taught drum set, hand percussion, improvisation, small combos, and Samba Laranja: The Syracuse University Brazilian Ensemble, which has performed for thousands of public school students and been featured multiple times at Jazz at Lincoln Center in New York City.
