This accurately describes the man himself. Shortly after arriving in Nashville, Josh quickly began to establish himself as a singer/songwriter on the rise in the country music scene. Josh Thompson is not just a songwriter but a country music artist. His talent is widely recognized by both fans and Nashville music professionals alike. He has a soulful distinctive voice and a style reminiscent of legends like Haggard, Waylon, and Cash. Josh recognizes that his life will always be grounded by the blood, sweat, and tears of his blue collar life.His first album, Way Out Here, was released in 2010 and the album peaked on Billboard at #9. The CD is filled with songs that reflect the artist - “Beer On The Table,” “Blame It on Waylon,” “Sinner,” “Won't Be Lonely Long,” “Always Been Me,” “A Name in This Town,” "Way Out Here," "You Ain't Seen Country Yet,” “Back Around” and “I Won't Go Crazy.” “Beer on the Table” became a Top 40 country single, rising to #17, marking Josh's first taste of chart success. Since then Josh has had several songs chart on Billboard, including “Way Out Here,” “Won‘t Be Lonely Long,” “Coming‘ Around" and “Change.” His songs are about real life love, anger, hurt, loss and more raw emotions that ring true with brutal honesty to everyone who hears them. If you want to know who Josh Thompson is – his music tells his story. He’s currently working on a new album and touring America.Tickets are still available for the Suwannee River Jam May 1-4.
