2025 Concert line up

The best introduction to Jon Wolfe is the basic yet not so simple fact that he’s a country singer and songwriter. Country music, as it was, is and always should be, with boots firmly standing on the bedrock of tradition and an eye focused on taking it into the future. And that, as any fan of true country knows, is no simple proposition. 

Hence the other best introduction to Jon Wolfe is to hear him sing and share the stories in the songs he performs and writes. And to learn his life story — from small town Oklahoma to the bustling big city commodities trading floor to the dance halls and honky-tonks of Texas and Oklahoma to Music Row, to give the highlights — and witness his faith in the power of music and determination to touch the hearts of others with something that means so much to him. 

It’s world-class country music from the American heartland, informed by the great singers that inspired Wolfe — like George Strait, Garth Brooks (a fellow Okie), Clint Black, Merle Haggard, Alan Jackson and Dwight Yoakam, to name a few — yet fired by his own contemporary energy and vision.

“ALL GRIT AND NO QUIT.” THESE ARE THE DEEPLY ROOTED WORDS THAT JOSH WARD LIVES BY TO AN ABSOLUTE FAULT. AN ANCHORED MINDSET THAT HAS LED THIS COUNTRY MUSIC ARTIST FROM A DRIFTER’S ADOLESCENCE TO THE JEOPARDOUS GAME OF THE RODEO CIRCUIT TO THE PUNISHING TOIL OF THE TEXAS OIL FIELDS, AND INTO THE FICKLE ARMS OF THE MUSIC BUSINESS.

JOSH WARD’S DEBUT ALBUM, PROMISES, RELEASED IN 2011, MARKED THE BEGINNING OF HIS JOURNEY IN THE COUNTRY MUSIC SCENE. OVER THE YEARS, HE HAS RELEASED SEVERAL ALBUMS, INCLUDING HOLDING ME TOGETHER AND MORE THAN I DESERVE, EACH SHOWCASING HIS DISTINCTIVE SOUND AND LYRICAL STORYTELLING.  JOSH WAS ADDED TO THE LIVE AT BILLY BOB’S TEXAS FAMILY WITH THE RELEASE OF HIS LIVE ALBUM FROM THE WORLD’S LARGEST HONKY-TONK IN 2019.

THE HIGHLY ANTICIPATED NEW ALBUM, SAME OL’ COWBOY, DIFFERENT RODEO, MARKS A NEW CHAPTER FOR JOSH.  AFTER A YEAR OF HIGHS AND LOWS AND A FEW UNEXPECTED TURNS, JOSH IS READY TO LOOK FORWARD.  JOSH SAID, “I’M NOT A BOASTFUL GUY, BUT THIS NEW RECORD IS SOMETHING SPECIAL. I AM REALLY PROUD OF THIS ONE!”
