Every so often we encounter a young soul with enough depth and desire to convince us we’ve been traveling down the same road together for years at a time. Josh Ross embodies that soul. Josh Ross conveys a pensive, yet confident vocal from the roots of ageless country influence, alongside his modern, energetic musicality and stage performance. This is proving to be a consistent satisfaction with his ever-expanding fanbase.
2017 marked the first impressive break for Josh Ross as he was selected as a finalist for the Boots & Hearts Emerging Artist Showcase in Oro Medonte Ontario. It was there he shared the main stage with some of North America’s most reputable country artists, and broke onto the industry scene and initiated a healthy following of fans. Later on that year, two more impressive achievements came way for this young artist; A winning showcase performance at Lucknow Music In The Fields, and a finalist slot for Canadian Indie Week downtown Toronto. During those 12 months of exciting traction from his music, Josh was approached by Warner recording artist Aaron Goodvin after posting a cover video of his song “Don’t Ever Let Go.” After several songwriting sessions together, Josh & Aaron began planning his first EP with Greg Bates (former artist, Big Machine). In summation, 2018 was a year of thoughtful creation and strategic planning for the future. ~ Josh Ross
