Global country force Josh Ross has announced his first ever headline appearance in the UK for Thursday, October 30th. Tickets go on sale Friday 1st August at 10am BST and will be available here. This special ‘Intimate Album Release Show’ at The Camden Assembly in London is something special for fans of the Canada-born / Nashville-based artist, whose full-length debut album, Later Tonight, is due out September 19th via Universal Music Canada, the country’s leading music company, MCA Stateside, and Snakefarm in the UK. Says Ross: “The last time I was in the UK, the fans blew me away — just so passionate and welcoming. It meant a lot, and I’ve been looking forward to coming back ever since. Getting to return with my debut album, ‘Later Tonight’, makes it even more special. I’m really proud of these songs and can’t wait to play them live for you all.” Produced by Matt Geroux who also helmed Ross’ JUNO Award-winning Complicated EP, the 15-track ‘Later Tonight’ includes ‘Drunk Right Now (Na Na Na)’ with Akon, plus UK Country Radio staple / US chart-topper, ‘Single Again’, doubling down on the emotive, rock-tinged country that has defined Ross’ worldwide ascent. From addictive US Radio #1 single, ‘Single Again’, to double-edged early releases ‘Hate How You Look’ and ‘Leave Me Too’ that peaked at #2 at Canadian Country radio, Ross’ raw admissions shed light on the endless possibilities of what could happen, Later Tonight… “Every single we’ve put out, every show we’ve played has led to this album,” states Ross. “We dug deep with the writing, leaning into getting caught in your feelings, breaking up, making up. No matter what, all roads led back to ‘Later Tonight’.” In tandem with this announcement, the reigning Canadian Country Music Association Entertainer of the Year also gives fans the title track of the album, ‘Later Tonight’ – listen HERE. Recently, Ross earned 6 CCMA nominations, including ‘Fans’ Choice Award’, ‘Male Artist of the Year’, ‘Entertainer of the Year’, ‘Video of the Year’, ‘Single of the Year’ and ‘Musical Collaboration of the Year’. Touring internationally through the end of the year, Ross continues to make waves. He recently wrapped tour support to Jelly Roll on The Beautifully Broken Great Northern Tour across Canada, has a slew of fairs and festivals lined up through the end of the summer, and will open select dates for Dylan Scott this autumn. |
