About Josh Turner
One of country music's most recognizable hit-makers earning numerous
CMA, ACM and GRAMMY nominations since the release of his debut album, Long
Black Train, Josh Turner has sold more than five million albums and
garnered four No. 1 hits (including three multi-week chart-toppers):
"Your Man," "Would You Go With Me," and "Why Don't We Just Dance" (a
four-week No. 1 that was named the most-played song of the year in 2010
by MediaBase). His song, "All Over Me," from Haywire
also reached the top spot on the charts, making him one of only seven
country artists to have two No. 1 hits in 2010. A Hannah, S.C. native,
Turner 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/music.
As a high school student, he had very little access to music education,
therefore realizes first-hand the importance of arts in the schools.
Celebrating the release of one of his fastest-rising singles to-date,
"Time Is Love," Turner recently celebrated the release of his fifth
studio album, Punching Bag on Tuesday, June 12 which debuted at
No. 1 on the Billboard Country Albums Chart. The Associated
Press says, "With Punching Bag, Turner once again proves he
ranks among the most effective -- and most hard-core country --
performers of his generation." For more information on Josh Turner
