Josh Ward

Country Music traditionalist Josh Ward has a unique, almost untouchable voice that grabs your attention. Just a few songs into a set and you will see just why Josh turns heads everywhere he performs. Josh Ward’s influences stretch back to some of the founding fathers of country music like Hank and Lefty, and to the outlaws like Waylon and Willie. Josh Ward's live show leaves no one disappointed, and everyone asking for more!

 

   A Houston native, Josh's earliest musical exposure was to old gospel hymns he sang in church.  As a teenager riding in the high school Rodeo Circuit he discovered the likes of Willie, Waylon, Merle, Jones and Strait.  Those musical legends inspired him to pick up a guitar and start singing in the parking lots of his rodeo events.  Encouraged by his reception at the rodeos, he put his first band together and began paying his dues at the local honky-tonks in 2003.  Through tenacity and hard work Josh has grown into one of the most respected and appreciated musicians in the state.  His honest and emotive delivery of every song compels audiences to feel his lyrics with him as he takes them on his musical journey.  Fellow songwriter Mike Ethan Messick once said of Josh, "Josh Ward sings like Mike Tyson hits.  Hard."
