Josh Thompson is a country and country-rock singer who built his sound the same way he once built foundations: from the ground up. His major-label debut, Way Out Here, announced him as a country artist worth hearing, climbing to No. 9 on Billboard's Top Country Albums chart and crossing over to No. 28 on the Billboard 200. The records that followed, from Comin' Around to Turn It Up, traced an artist settling into his own voice rather than chasing a trend.
He came up the hard way. A native of Cedarburg, Wisconsin, Thompson was pouring concrete alongside his father by the age of twelve, work that put the grit in his music long before he ever wrote a song. In 2005 he packed up for Nashville, where the songwriting that had been waiting in him finally found a home and, eventually, a record deal.
That blue-collar starting point still shapes the artist on stage today. He has carried his songs from a homecoming bill at Country in the Burg in his native Cedarburg to the room at Minneapolis venue First Avenue, the kind of range that makes him a natural fit for fairs, festivals, casino dates, college shows, and private events alike.
