Josh Ross To Make Opry Debut Tonight

Canadian singer-songwriter and hitmaker Josh Ross makes his Grand Ole Opry debut on July 26th in Nashville.

It’s been a busy 2023 for Josh.

He just shares his latest track “Ain’t Doin’ Jack.” Originally envisioned as an emotional ballad, Ross was inspired to transform “Ain’t Doin’ Jack” to an upbeat country-rock anthem once he was invited to join acclaimed rock band, Nickelback, on tour this summer.

“’Ain’t Doin’ Jack’ was written with my good friends Mason Thornley, Ben Stoll, and Sam Martinez on a writing retreat in the Smoky Mountains,” shares Ross. Ben originally had the idea about Jack Daniel’s not doing the trick to get over a girl. When we first started writing the song, we thought of doing it as a sad ballad. But while we were on the writing trip, we got the news that I was going to be opening for Nickelback on their Get Rollin’ Tour, so we thought making it a country-rock song for our live set would be a cool idea. All of this happened before we knew it would even be released, so I’m excited to share it.”

Josh already has a pair of Top 5 Canadian country radio hits. “On A Different Night” and “First Taste of Gone”, and his debut U-S single “Trouble” is climbing the charts.

Oh, and he’s the most-nominated artist at the upcoming 2023 CCMAs with six nods – including Male Artist of the Year and Fan’s Choice – where he is also set to perform.
