Biography
From his 2003 Platinum-selling debut Long Black Train to his 2017 Billboard No. 1 release, Deep South, Turner has scored multiple GRAMMY®, CMA and ACM Awards nominations and received six Inspirational Country Music Awards. As one of the youngest members inducted into the Grand Ole Opry, Turner has sold more than 8 million units, topped more than 1.5 billion in global streaming and populated radio with such memorable hits as “Hometown Girl,” “Would You Go With Me,” “Your Man,” “Time Is Love,” “Why Don’t We Just Dance” and “Long Black Train.”
With his newest project, I Serve A Savior, which debuted at No. 1 atop the Nielsen’s Country Albums chart and No. 2 on Billboard’s Top Christian Albums Chart, Turner adds an exciting new dimension to his already acclaimed career. I Serve A Savior is a thoughtful gospel collection that finds Turner’s rich, distinctive baritone paired with timeless classics including “Amazing Grace,” “How Great Thou Art” and “Great Is Your Faithfulness,” as well as introducing originals including the title track, “I Serve A Savior,” and “The River (of Happiness),” written by his wife, Jennifer, and their eldest son, Hampton. In addition to the 12-track studio project, Turner has released a complementing 90-minute live performance DVD featuring a special interview of Turner with gospel legend Bill Gaither, a performance with Turner alongside his wife Jennifer and their four sons, and more. The DVD has been edited to air as a one-hour television special hosted by Bill Gaither, which will air on numerous networks across the U.S. and Canada.
Turner is a disciple of traditional country music, a mentor to up-and-coming artists, and one of the youngest members of the Grand Ole Opry. Turner has been an Opry member for over 10 years and he recently revealed in his 150th performance on the famed Opry circle.
Turner checked off another bucket list item when he added author to his list of accomplishments. His first book, Man Stuff: Thoughts on Faith, Family, and Fatherhood was released in 2014. As highlighted in the book, the Hannah, S.C. native has been songwriting and performing since he was a young child, and in support of music education, created The Josh Turner Scholarship Fund to assist students interested in pursuing a future in arts and music. As a high school student, Turner had very little access to music education, therefore realizes first-hand the importance of arts education in schools.

Live reviews
Josh Turner is without question my favorite country recording artist. He's got that good ol' Southern charm and a baritone voice smooth as honey butter. His "Your Man" album is one of my top albums of any genre. I was stoked to see him live in 2009 in Salt Lake City. It's always a thrill to see your favorite musician live, and the show introduced me to some great songs I wasn't already familiar with, like Soulmate and So Not My Baby. Oh, and his wife plays the keys. So when he sings a love song, it's adorable. Anyone who's listened to Josh knows his deep voice and Southern upbringing come with a pretty laid back style. I think it would be great listening to outside or in a smoky bar, but in a sizeable concert the energy just didn't seem to be there. He's an awesome talent, but it's a much more toned-down environment compared to Brad Paisley and Keith Urban. I didn't really feel like the live performance was different enough from the albums to make it worth my purchase, although I love the man dearly. Overall, I will be sticking with Josh's albums in the future. But he is amazing, and I think you should check him out and decide for yourself.

Country singer Josh Turner is often described as one of the most sincere performers on the circuit. There is a lot of bravado naturally associated with the genre of country as it is known to be quite raucous at times yet Josh conducts his gigs with a quiet intimacy that is often rare to find these days.
From the offset, he greets the audience warmly and takes to his seat for opener 'Backwoods Boy' whilst making sure each note really resonates to everybody in the room. He builds a great rapport with his fans and thanks them for continuing to support his career and treats them to tales of song incarnation whilst teasing that they are his favourite crowd thus far.
He tries some new material on the receptive crowds which they applaud intently before he thanks them for their patience with a perfect rendition of 'Would You Go With Me?' which evokes mass singalong. Still relatively new to the scene, Turner leaves the audience with the overall impression he is destined for huge things.

I have been to over 40 concerts in my lifetime, and I enjoyed this concert as one of the best. I like the smaller venue, and smaller crowd. Josh was funny, clean, and very had a quality sound. My daughter and I walked down to the stage on the last 2 songs. I wish we would have done earlier.
The only thing I did not like or appreciate, was that the producer allowed the back rows to move up in the VIP tables, because there were empty seats (inclement weather and people did not show up). I drive 3 hours on ice, which normally takes 1 1/2 hours. The back rows were last minute coming in to find a seat. We and everyone in closer chairs had been waiting 2 hours.
The concert started over 1 hour late. The fact that the 2-3 back rows got to move up, did not set well with me. BUT... this had nothing to do with Josh.
Josh put on a very classy show, and My daughter and I finally got to seen him (even touched his hand!)

They came back to do an on core at the end.They played for a little over two hours.Josh I will definitely see you at future concerts when you come back to the area.Please come back SOON!!

Josh Turner's show at Crystal Grand was the 3rd time I have seen him live, and was not the least disappointed. He so easily captures the audience with his natural talents, sense of confidence, and consistency. The audience enjoyed the show. You could feel the love. My personal desire would be that he not have an opening act. He doesn't need it!! If you have him back to WI Dells, I will hit the "songkicks" site early and get GOOD tickets. Loved the venue and the show.

Awesome performance at Austin rodeo. I love that he uses his tremendous voice to reinforce his love of God and has songs that also have a blend for others. I had extreme experience seats and they were worth the cost. His band of musicians were superb team. Thank you making my day a little better with your music ... truly a blessing of joy and fun.

Was absolutely fabulous, I travelled over 320 miles from Edinburgh to spend the whole weekend just to watch him last thing on the Sunday and it was worth the wait, only thing I can say is I wished he was on stage longer, I really hope he comes back to the uk and hopefully to Scotland next time, il be first in line for tickets

I absolutely loved seeing him in Norman Oklahoma! We drove about 2 and a half hours just for me to see him! I absolutely had a great time! Him and his band are so awesome and I especially enjoy his gospel music! I also got to meet one of the band members! Hope he comes back to Oklahoma again really soon! I love you Josh!
