Josh Thompson is originally from Cedarburg, Wisconsin and decided to move to Nashville, Tennessee in 2005, where he found work as a songwriter, his first single being the song “Growing Up Is Getting Old”, the title track of his 2009 album. Following the success of this, Thompson signed with Columbia Records, and quickly released his “Beer on the Table” towards the end of 2009. It made it straight into the Country Charts, and would eventually peak at number 17.

After releasing an EP that featured the song and three others, he released the full-length album “Way Out Here” on February 23rd 2010. It would go on to peak at number 9 in the Country charts, and number 28 in the Billboard 200 chart, amassing sales of over 152,000. The title track from the album made it to number 15 in the County charts and to number 85 in the Hot 100. Thompson embarked on a 32-date tour with Eric Church, and then released his album’s third single “Won’t Be Lonely Long” on November 22nd 2010.

The following year, he co-wrote a song on Brad Paisley’s album “This Is Country Music”, called “A Man Don’t Have to Die”. He also transferred to RCA Nashville and released the single “Comin’ Around” which made it to number 31 on the Country charts, but he later announced that he would be leaving the major label to sign with Show Dog-Universal Music on which he would release the album “Turn It Up” on April 1st 2014.
