Chanteur
Country US né le 15 Mai 1980 à Houston (Texas).
A
modern-day traditionalist who is keeping the Lone Star honky tonk sound alive, Josh
Ward is a songwriter and singer who has won a large and growing following in his
native Texas, playing country music with rock and blues accents. Ward was born
in Houston on May 15, 1980. His first exposure to music came in church, singing
vintage gospel hymns with his family during Sunday services when he was four
years old. At home, Ward's family favored country music, and as a teenager he
developed a passion for classic country sounds, particularly George
Strait, Merle
Haggard, George
Jones, Willie
Nelson, and Waylon
Jennings. In his high school days, Ward was an amateur rodeo rider, and
after learning to play guitar, he began serving double duty at rodeo events,
playing music in the parking lot before riding later in the day. Ward joined a
band in 2003, and began making the rounds of the Texas honky tonk circuit. After
a spell playing with a Western swing outfit, Ward formed his own group, and in
2007 he released his first studio EP, an eight-song effort titled Hard Whiskey.
After more live playing in the Southwest, Ward issued his first full-length
album, Promises, in 2012. Produced by Greg Hunt, who'd previously worked with LeAnn
Rimes and Pat
Green, Promises spawned five singles that all hit the Top 20 of the Texas
music charts and in 2013, Texas Regional Radio named Ward New Male Vocalist of
the Year. Two years later, he returned with his second album, Holding Me
Together, which was another Southwestern hit, with four songs from the LP
reaching number one on Texas Regional Radio listings. In 2018, he delivered the
full-length More Than I Deserve, which cracked the Top 50 of the Billboard
Independent Albums chart. The concert album Live at Billy Bob's Texas arrived in
2019.
