Josh Thompson Biography

Josh Thompson was born in 1978 in Wisconsin and grew up fairly far removed from the music scene. His earliest years were spent working in construction, even when he was still just a teenager, but after moving to Nashville in 2005, he began to earn gigs as a songwriter. During this time, Thompson penned songs for such notable artists as Jason Michael Carroll, and it wasn’t long before he’d garnered the attention of Columbia Records for his own recording contract.

Josh’s debut, the single “Beer on the Table,” was released in 2009 and landed on the country single charts, debuting at the number fifty-five spot and eventually rising into the top twenty. Thompson’s debut album, Way Out Here, arrived in the following year, and featured ten tracks, nearly all of them written by Josh Thompson himself. The album gave audiences the songs “Blame it on Waylon” and “Won’t Be Lonely Long,” and shortly after their release Josh Thompson began his first tour alongside Eric Church. During this time, Thompson continued to write material for artists such as Brad Paisley and Jason Aldean.

Most recently, Josh Thompson released the single “Comin’ Around” before switching labels to Dog-Universal Music. He currently has plans to return to the studio for a new album release in the near future.
