Josh Thompson

Josh Thompson

Country artist Josh Thompson kicked off his career in 2009, when the songwriter released his first single, “Beer on the Table,” and co-authored a song for Jason Michael Carroll’s Top Ten album Growing Up Is Getting Old. A native of western Wisconsin, Thompson began pouring concrete alongside his father at the age of 12, and a sense of blue-collar pride soon found its way into his music. He moved to Nashville in 2005, assembled a band, and received a boost when Columbia Records signed him to the label’s country division. “Beer on the Table” became a Top 40 country single in 2009, marking Thompson's first taste of chart success, and he spent the rest of the year touring and finalizing his debut album.

Chris Cavanaugh opened up for Josh Thompson. He was energetic and charasmatic. He got the mild crowd rocking. Josh Thompson came on and got the crowd standing, singing and jumping! He played all of his hits with a few all-time favorites. He worked the stage and interacted with the crowd with ease. He played an incredible version of a Billy Joel classic! Josh Thompson proves that country music when played with energy can liven up any crowd!

Jason Sturgeon did an excellent job as an opening act. He warmed up the crowd nicely and provided us with an amazing show. Following Jason Sturgeon was Chris Cavanaugh, an amazing performer and great songwriter. Josh Thompson did an absolutely fantastic job. Singing along to the songs I knew and listening intently to the new ones. I can't wait for his next album. I look forward to seeing all 3 of these musicians again.

4 hours of solid country music for $25, can't beat that! Great, great venue, sound system at rapids is topnotch, comfortable atmosphere. Wasn't two familiar with JoshT. but open to all country. Newcomer Chris Cavanaugh is definitely someone to watch for. Everett Lee had a great setlist and sounded good, loved the energy of Ransomville, could have listened to them a little longer. Josh T was good but kinda mellow after the two openers.

I've seen Josh Thompson several times and he NEVER disappoints!! He is a down-to-earth, hard-working country boy who is on his way to the big time! His performances are always energizing and FUN. His music speaks to anyone who believes in working hard, playing hard & appreciating family & friends. He was very pleasant to talk with at the Meet & Greet and seemed genuinely happy to meet his fans, take pics and sign autographs.

Concert was good,but the guitar mix was way too loud compared to the voice. There were times I could not tell what the words were that Josh was singing. Took too long for the band to come out on stage to start. Everything was set-up and ready for them after the opening band's stuff was removed and it was another 25-30 minutes before Josh Thompson came on stage.

The show was pretty good, almost identical to his last show in Boston. He was a little too tipsy this time and it was distracting at times. I love his music and he didn't mess up any songs so all in and all I can't complain.

The first time I heard this guy and his band I liked it and I didn't know any songs back then.Iv'e seen him about 5 times now and every time his crowd is bigger and bigger.If you like some real country with a southern rock band edge then this is a must see !!

These seasonal acoustic shows are such a fantastic way to connect with talented upcoming artists, and at a great budget price to boot! The sound at UB Center for Performing Arts was phenomenal, as it always is. The theater is small and intimate and our dead-center 5th row seats for $25 each were like having Josh Thompson pickin' in our living room. He and Randy Houser were both very outgoing and charismatic, telling wonderful tales to go along with their tunes and cajoling each other as well. Andy Gibson seemed a bit less comfortable in the stripped-down setting, but was pitch perfect and technically exceptional nonetheless. An artist really has to be "on" to pull it off acoustic. I hope this format continues into the future for WYRK, as we will always attend. It's a "can't miss" event!

Venue was boring artist was still had not come on stage at 10PM i purchased these tickets thinking I could see the headliner and be out in time to get home for work the next morning. Sometime after 10 I left because we were just listening to music in a radio fashion.

Josh Thompson brought the party to the stage starting with a Time for a get down to get things started breaking out with his signature Blame it on Waylon Putting the Beer on the Table and giving all the ladies a reason to shake their taillights When it got time to Turn it up the crowd was really ready to rock the Josh Thompson brought everybody to their feet at 8 seconds I highly recommend if you have the chance to see Josh Thompson get your tickets now Tell your local venues bring JOSH THOMPSON TO YOUR TOWN

I am a big Josh Thompson fan and I have been waiting 2+ years for him to have a show near me that I could attend, and he did not disappoint. He put on a great show, mixing in old songs, new songs, a couple covers, and a couple songs he wrote for big country stars. However, I was disappointed by the turnout of the crowd. On the one hand it was nice because we were able to get very close to the stage. But I felt he deserved a better crowd. He still put on a great show though and I hope it doesn't discourage him from coming back to Georgia in the future.

Good show. His opening act was excellent, she has a future in Nashville. Josh only continues to get better. The venue is really great too. The food and service were excellent, and the best thing is no one stands in front.

We drive from 40 miles north of Nashville (Clarksville) any time we can to go to Eight Seconds Saloon. The staff is amazing and the crowd is great. This was our 4th trip there in 12 months and we would do it every weekend if we had the energy. Josh always puts on a great show and we were fortunate enough to get some meet and greet passes once we were inside. The establishment always makes the event better. Hats off to them.

This could be called the Perfect Pitch Concert - I didn't hear one off-key note from any of the three performers. Spectacular voices, awesome songs. Randy Houser sounds so much like Ronnie Dunn (my fav singer), his voice gives me chills.

I always attend the WYRK Acoustic concerts at UB Performing Arts. They are always so enjoyable! Usually it includes "up and coming" acts, and they usually go on to be very big, such as "The Band Perry", Dierks Bentley, Steel Magnolia, Randy Houser, and many more! There is not a bad seat in the house at this venue, even though I end up sitting in the first 10 rows, usually! The acoustics are wonderful, and they always have the opportunity to meet the stars after the show (one artist, and a photo and autograph). Great time!

This concert (if that's what you want to call it) was fabulous. Josh Thompson was the lead man.... & he played the role well. He was funny & engaging. Josh made you feel right at home. He made us cry & then roar with laughter! Randy Houser was another character. His powerfully, smooth voice was even better than his recorded voice (When does that ever happen)! Both Josh & Randy had some great stories to tell. The newbie.... Andy Gibson, (LOL Let's hope he was only kidding about not knowing who the Beatles were!) His talent is undeniable, I'm sure he will get more & more comfortable with it all. Thankx guys, it was a thoroughly enjoyable evening!

I took my mom to the show and we both thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Between the great vocals and interaction between the artists and the crowd it made for a very entertaining show at a great price! I always look forward to these acoustic shows and highly recommend them to everyone! Thank you WYRK ~

I love the acoustic shows! You get up close; hear stories about the singer/songwriter and why the songs developed. Alot of laughter, great voices and fun. Much better than going to a drunk concert like Darien Lake. Still enjoy country; without all that craziness. Love, Love, Love these concerts.

Very good show and please keep it on Sunday nites. The only negative was the inconsiderate woman to our right who had to climb over the seat, take her boots of more than once and talked very loudly during the show.

I went to see Josh Thompson last year for the first time because I knew one of his band members. I have gone to see him four more times since then because of how amazing his live show is. He writes the majority of his songs and it shows in his performances. His music is about "the working man" and not cliche country lyrics. You feel his honesty and energy in every song. His band generates that same energy and are all talented musicians. My sister who is not much of a fan of today's country music was blown away with him. He blends his sound with that of the great country outlaws such as Waylon, Johnny, Charlie, and Merle, even covering some of their tunes. A friend went to this show with me who wasn't familiar with him, and wouldn't leave the front of the stage to go to the bathroom or grab a beer. She was so into and can't wait for the next show. Josh puts in a lot of work to get his music to his fans and he is destined to have a long successful career. If you can see him live it is a show you CANNOT MISS!
