Global country force Josh Ross released his highly anticipated full-length debut album Later Tonight, via MCA / Mercury Nashville / Universal Music Canada / CORE Records. Listen HERE.
Produced by longtime collaborator Matt Geroux who also helmed Ross’s JUNO Award-winning EP Complicated, the 15-track collection doubles down on the emotive, rock-tinged country that has defined his world-dominating ascent.
The album includes standout tracks like Ross’ most-added new country radio single “Hate How You Look,” first-ever U.S. country #1 “Single Again,” Akon collaboration “Drunk Right Now (Na Na Na),” recently released title track “Later Tonight,” and more.
“I’m ready to have this album out in the world,” Ross says. “I moved to Nashville 7 years ago, and have been working towards this moment long before that. I’m proud of what this album turned out to be; it took a lot of living to make it, and I hope that every person that listens to it finds a song or a situation that they can relate to.”
“The title of this record, and the title track, became the thread that tied this project together over the last couple of years,” Ross shared in July upon announcing the album. “Every single we put out, every show we’ve played has led to this. We dug deep writing for this album, leaning into getting caught in your feelings, breaking up, making up. No matter what, all roads led back to ‘Later Tonight.’”
Ross takes Nashville by storm with a multi-stop celebration of Later Tonight. On Lower Broadway starting as early as 2:30 p.m. CT, Josh will perform at Ole Red, Luke Combs’ Category 10 (line dancing included), and a live radio / in-person appearance on SiriusXM’s Happy Hour at Margaritaville. Later tonight, he’ll return to the Grand Ole Opry’s hallowed Circle for a few songs from the new album, meeting select fans afterwards in the Circle Room for an intimate conversation and acoustic moment post-show. Follow along on Ross’ socials for real-time updates, surprises, and more.
Last weekend, Ross solidified his standout year at the CCMAs, taking home two of the night’s biggest honors: Entertainer of the Year and Single of the Year for “Single Again.” Earning FIVE new trophies in total, the banner night adds to a career-high week.
On the road, Ross will embark on a six-city support run with Dylan Scott stateside this fall before he hops across the pond for a headline double-header in London at The Camden Assembly celebrating Later Tonight. Just announced, Ross will headline his 17-date Later Tonight Tour across Canada starting February 6, with direct support from Chandler Walters.
