Submitted for your approval: today’s Red Bank oRBit brings you one Josh L. Lachowicz, by day a veterinary oncologist at Red Bank Veterinary Hospital, where the families of his patients call him “Dr. Josh.”

At night, Dr. Josh becomes Joshua Louis (right) — singer, songwriter and keyboard player whose latest CD My Special Friend is a benefit project for the Save U.S. Pets Foundation. The artist is more than happy to offer his original music for human consumption as well, and in coming evenings present two opportunities to hear him showcasing his songs in public, deep in the heart of Red Bank.

We’ve got the details on the Doc’s doings downtown, along with an exclusive interview in which Josh opens up about influences, emotional workdays and personal paths — only here in oRBit.
