About Josh Thompson

Josh Thompson (born January 23, 1978) is an American country music artist signed to Columbia Records Nashville. On July 27, 2009, he released his debut album Way Out Here in January 2010. The album has produced three top 40 hits for him on the charts: "Beer on the Table", "Way Out Here" and "Won't Be Lonely Long". Biography edit: Josh Thompson was born on January 23, 1978 in Cedarburg, Wisconsin. He worked in construction starting at age twelve. As a young adult, he took a nature course in the Nicolet National Forest. Thompson moved to Nashville, Tennessee in 2005. He worked as a songwriter, with his first cut being the title track to Jason Michael Carroll's album Growing Up Is Getting Old. By 2009, Thompson had signed to Columbia Records' Nashville division. He released his debut single "Beer on the Table" in late 2009, and it debuted at No. 55 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts dated for the week ending August 15, 2009. This song was followed by a four-song digital extended play which included that song and three other tracks. Way Out Here, his debut album, was released in February 2010 under the production of Michael Knox. Thompson wrote or co-wrote every one of the album's ten tracks, and promoted the album at the Northern Lights Theatre in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. "Beer on the Table" peaked at number 17 on the country music charts. The album's second single, its title track, was released to radio in March 2010. Besides the two singles, the tracks "Won't Be Lonely Long" and "Blame It on Waylon" were made into music videos. Starting in February 2010, Thompson began touring with Eric Church on a 32-stop tour and was tapped for portions of Brad Paisley's 2010 H2O Tour. The album's third single "Won't Be Lonely Long" released to country radio on November 22, 2010. Thompson also co-wrote "Church Pew or Bar Stool", a song recorded by Jason Aldean on his 2010 album My Kinda Party. In 2011 he co-wrote a song on Brad Paisley's album "This Is Country Music" the song is entitled "A Man Dont Have To Die". In August 2011, Thompson and label mate Miranda Lambert transferred to RCA Nashville as part of a corporate restructuring. He released his first RCA Records single, "Comin' Around", in late 2011. However, Thompson parted ways with RCA Nashville in July 2012. In September 2012 it was announced that Thompson had signed a recording contract with Show Dog-Universal Music and will release new music sometime in 2013.
