Josh Ross

Canadian singer-songwriter Josh Ross brings his modern country with pop edges to Limelight, Belfast on 24 August 2026. Raised in Ontario and now based in Nashville, he writes from the gut: breakups, small-town memories, the push and pull between leaving and staying. After a pivot from college sports to music, he cut his teeth on the circuit between Canada and Tennessee, a back-and-forth that shaped the reflective tone and straight-ahead melodies of his songs.

“First Taste of Gone” marked a turning point, setting the template for his lean ballads and choruses built for the stage. He followed with “On A Different Night,” “Trouble,” and “Ain’t Doin’ Jack,” blending classic country storytelling with pop-rock structures and a steady focus on hooks. Live, Ross plays with a guitar-forward band, keeping arrangements tight and letting the vocals carry the narrative. The set moves between slow-burn ballads and mid-tempo tracks, mapping the highs and lows of heartbreak and what lingers after.
