Josh Ward Band
Josh Ward and his band have a unique style of traditional
honky-tonk mixed with Texas Attitude and Good Ol’ Southern Rock.
Lead Singer, Josh Ward, Has a unique almost un-touchable voice
that grabs your attention. Just a few songs into a set and you
will see just why the Josh Ward Band is turning heads everywhere
they perform.
Josh Ward’s influences stretch back to some of the founding
fathers of country music like Hank and Lefty, to the outlaws
like Waylon and Willie, all the way up to the modern day
Texas/Red Dirt music stars like Cross Canadian Ragweed, Pat
Green, Pat Green and Jason Boland. Add in some rock and blues
for a little extra flavor, and that’s what makes up a Josh Ward
Show. Josh Ward and his band lean toward the country side of
Texas Music, however, a couple times a night they crank it up
and get rowdy. Whether its traditional country, old time Rock &
Roll, or Texas Music Fans looking for a good time, Josh Ward
leaves no one disappointed, and everyone asking for more!
Born May 15th, 1980 in Houston, Texas, Josh was raised on
country music, although, his first musical influence was old
gospel hymns he would sing at church. As a teenager Willie,
Waylon, Merle and George Jones and Strait were his inspirations.
While riding the high school Rodeo Circuit, Josh polished his
guitar and vocals skills while singing on the tailgate of
pickups at local rodeos.
He joined his first band in early 2003 playing local honky-tonks
and bars, giving Josh the stage time and experience needed to
stretch out on his own and pursue his life long dream of
performing and playing music full time.
