JJ VOSS EPK 2023

Raised on a small farm in southern Saskatchewan, Voss began his journey in music at the age of 8 when he picked up his Dad’s old flat top and has been following in the footsteps of legendary troubadours like Steve Earle, Charlie Major, Tom Petty and Bruce Springsteen ever since.

To date Voss has released 3 albums and 1 single, garnering a WMCA Producer of the Year nomination for debut EP ‘Hillbilly Storybook’ in 2008, followed up by his ‘Show ‘em Who’s Voss’ album in 2012, landing him a SCMA Roots Album of the Year award and chart action for 5 singles on Canadian Country radio. It’s a Pride Thing’ peaking at #62 on the Billboard Country Top 100 and ‘Playing For Keeps’ at #51. The album also received  international airplay leading Voss to his first overseas tour; playing  shows  in Germany, Ireland, France and the Netherlands,  Colombia and Mexico. 

 

Voss's 3rd album, ‘Come Along With Me’, was released on March 20th, 2020 - 9 days after the official announcement of the COVID-19 pandemic, forcing the cancellation of over 45 tour dates. Determined to see his plan through, he pivoted and presented 20+ online concerts, and 80+ Live concerts (both solo and with his band) in between lock down periods between 2020-2022. The album garnered 6 SCMA awards, Top 10 Mediabase chart success with 3 singles; “Some People”, “Come Along With Me” and “The Kind of Man”. and 150K video views for his re-make of Murray McLaughlan's 'Farmer Song' with Darlene Tuleta and Canadian Hall of Famer  Charlie Major.

October 14th 2022 Voss released his poignant single, ‘A Letter to Dad’ - a tribute to the Voss family farm on its 100 year milestone. ‘A Letter To Dad’ is out now on radio and at all major music service providers.   

2023 has started strong with JJ’s self penned single ‘A Letter To Dad' being awarded Music Video of the year by the Saskatchewan Country Music Association. Currently Voss is writing songs in preparation for release in early 2024.

REVIEWS

"...‘A Letter to Dad’ is the first release since he renewed his commitment to his art as a voice for the working class.  On the strength of this engaging, emotive song, we look forward to hearing more from the Canadian troubadour soon..." - Americana UK

 

"...This song (A Letter To Dad' is authentically poignant. With the weight of a legacy on his mind, a son hopes to balance honoring his father’s wishes while still staying true to his own. There’s power in this songwriting..."-Americana Highways

 

"...Like many artists, the pandemic allowed JJ to reassess his artistic goals, and “A Letter To Dad” is the first taste of his renewed drive to be a voice for the working class, while updating the sounds of classic country for our modern world..."- Roots Music Canada

"...Voss’s barrelhouse vocals and deft guitar work filled up the Gathering Place with sound and laughter for two full sets and an encore..."- Discover Humboldt 

"...Voss was funny, poignant, engaging and very charming as the night wore on. He's a fine songwriter and a gifted entertainer..." - Scott Roos, North Sask Music Zine  

"...Fantastic! That's what I think of JJ's new album. Not a wasted note. No lack of depth. All heart and inspiration. Every single one of these songs will be played on our show The Morning Edition..." - Chris Haynes - CBC SK

 

“...Come Along With Me” is a journey every real country music fan will enjoy, and its positive-but-not naive message that we can rise above the negativity together is something everyone could use these days..." - Broose Tulloch, Roots Music Canada 

"...Come Along With Me, the third release from Saskatchewan-based country rocker JJ Voss, is a thought-provoking journey of unorthodox subject material that is a side step from the standard fare offered up in the genre. It's a record about respect, love and positivity, on top of tackling many of the tough social issues of the day. Kicking off with the "love song to society" title track, the record does not let up but, in these trying times, that's exactly what we need..." - Scott Roos, Exclaim Music Canada
