Josh Turner schedules Richmond concert on latest tour

Get ready for a night of deep voices and big hits

If you’re a fan of country music with that old-school soulful feel, you’re in for a treat this year. Josh Turner is packing his bags and heading to a city near you. The man with one of the deepest voices in Nashville is hitting the road again, and the new tour dates are finally here.

Turner’s This Country Music Thing Tour is expanding with brand new stops across the United States. From Texas to Virginia and places in between, he’s bringing his baritone magic to theaters and venues that promise an intimate evening.

The tour is growing with new stops

The This Country Music Thing Tour just got a whole lot bigger with the announcement of additional concert dates. Fans who missed out on the first round of tickets now have another shot. Josh Turner is adding performances in multiple states, making sure more people get to experience what he does best.

These newly added shows spread across the country, hitting spots in Texas, Virginia, Louisiana, and Alabama. He’s also heading up north to places like New Hampshire and New Jersey. It looks like Turner is determined to cover as much ground as possible, bringing his signature sound to both longtime fans and folks who might be seeing him for the first time.

Kicking things off in Lubbock, Texas

The This Country Music Thing Tour makes a notable stop in Lubbock, Texas, at the beautiful Buddy Holly Hall. Mark your calendars for May 21, 2026, because that is when Turner will take the stage. The show starts at 7:30 PM, with doors swinging open at 6:30 PM so you can get settled in.

Abbey Cone will be joining him as the supporting act for this particular show. If you get there early, you might discover your new favorite artist before the main event even starts. Tickets for the Lubbock show are available through the Buddy Holly Hall website, and given his popularity, they probably won’t last long.

Virginia gets not one, but two shows

Virginia is turning into a major hotspot for Josh Turner fans this summer. He is scheduled to perform in both Roanoke and Richmond, giving folks on both sides of the state a chance to see him. First up is Roanoke at the Berglund Center on June 18.

Both shows are evening events starting at 7:30 PM. The Richmond show is particularly exciting because the Carpenter Theatre is known for its fantastic sound quality. Kaylee Rose will be opening for Turner at both Virginia stops, so be sure to arrive on time to catch her set.

Those songs you know by heart

You might not realize how many of his songs you actually know until you hear the first few notes. Josh Turner has been releasing hits for over two decades. Tracks like Long Black Train put him on the map with its gospel-tinged story about faith and temptation.

Of course, you cannot forget Why Don’t We Just Dance, which got everyone moving when it came out. These are the kind of songs that sound great on the radio but come alive in a concert setting. Hearing him sing them live with a full band is a completely different experience, and it is worth the ticket price just for those moments.

New music is in the mix

While everyone loves the classics, Turner is not just living in the past. His latest project, also called This Country Music Thing, has been making waves since its release. The album debuted in the Top 10 on the Country Albums chart and has already racked up millions of streams worldwide.

Songs from this new album fit right alongside his older material. They have that same traditional country feel but with a fresh perspective. You will likely hear tracks like Two Steppin’ On The Moon during the show, which is a fun song that even caught the attention of NASA.

That famous deep voice

What makes Josh Turner stand out in a crowd of country singers is his voice. He has one of the deepest, richest baritones in the music business, and it is instantly recognizable. When he drops into those low notes, you feel it in your bones.

This unique sound is what has kept him relevant for so long. He is not trying to copy anyone else or follow trends. Turner sticks to what he does best, and audiences appreciate that authenticity. When you see him live, you realize that the recordings do not do his voice justice.

Here’s a fun fact: Josh Turner actually lost his voice for an entire year back in 1996 due to a vocal cord injury. Doctors told him to rest it completely, and during that time, he learned classical vocal techniques that helped him develop that famous baritone we know today.

A career full of awards and honors

Over the years, Josh Turner has collected quite a few accolades. He has been nominated for Grammy awards, which is the biggest honor in music. Beyond that, he has won GMA Dove Awards for his gospel music, showing that he can cross genres while staying in his lane.

His home state of South Carolina has also recognized his contributions. He received the Order of the Palmetto, which is the highest honor a civilian can get in the state. Recently, he was inducted into the South Carolina Entertainment and Music Hall of Fame.

The story behind Your Man

The single ‘Your Man’ was released July 26, 2005, and the Your Man album followed on January 24, 2006 — the album’s 20th anniversary falls on January 24, 2026, while the single’s 20th anniversary was July 2025. Both the single and the album have earned multi-Platinum RIAA certifications, reflecting multi-million sales and streams.

The original video featured his wife, Jennifer, and they recreated that magic recently with a new version. It is a sweet story because they met in college at Belmont University in Nashville, long before the fame.

Supporting the next generation

Josh Turner is not just about making music and touring. He also cares deeply about helping young people follow their dreams. He created the Josh Turner Scholarship Fund for the Arts to help students who want to study music and the arts in college.

So far, the scholarship is available in ten states, and more than 20 students have received help from this fund. It supports kids who are pursuing their education in creative fields, which can sometimes be expensive.

Opening acts you should know

Every tour needs some warm-up acts, and Turner has picked some good ones. Depending on which city you attend, you might see Abbey Cone, Will Jones, or Kaylee Rose open the show. These are up-and-coming artists who are trying to make a name for themselves in country music.

Arriving early to catch these opening acts is a smart move. You never know when you might catch a future star before they get huge. Plus, it is just good concert etiquette to support all the performers. They usually play shorter sets, about 30 to 45 minutes, so it is not a huge time commitment.

New music reaches for the stars

Turner’s song Two Steppin’ On The Moon from his latest album got some serious attention from NASA. In October 2024, he was invited to perform at the Johnson Space Center in Houston and actually sang to astronauts onboard the International Space Station from Mission Control.

The experience was deeply personal for Turner, who grew up admiring astronaut Ron McNair. McNair was the first person to play a musical instrument in space. Turner never imagined his own voice would one day be heard in outer space, but that is exactly what happened thanks to this invitation.
