Grand Island, NE – Josh Turner, the country singer-songwriter with a deep, soulful voice has joined the 2010 Nebraska State Fair Entertainment Series. His performance begins at 8:00p.m. on Labor Day, Monday, September 6, 2010 at the Heartland Events Center. The show is free with a paid gate admission.
Josh Turner’s latest album, Haywire, includes the album’s debut single “Why Don’t We Just Dance.” The excitement over that song inspired him to write or co-write five of the album’s 11 songs: “Haywire,” “As Fast As I Could,” “Eye Candy,” “Friday Paycheck,” and “The Answer.”
Since earning a standing ovation as an unknown singer on the Grand Ole Opry stage in 2001, he has established himself as one of the most identifiable male vocalists in country music. The Hannah, S.C. native has sold more than 4 million albums and garnered three multi-week No. 1s (“Your Man,” “Would You Go With Me,” and “Why Don’t We Just Dance”). His debut album was certified platinum for more than 1 million copies sold, and his sophomore album, Your Man, was one of only four country albums to reach double-platinum status in 2006. Six years after his Opry debut, he was inducted into the prestigious organization, becoming one of the youngest artists to receive such an honor.
Blender magazine says Josh “is a country Barry White. His burring voice can tease our sensuality in unlikely places.”
The 2010 Entertainment Series is presented by the Nebraska Lottery and sponsored by Bristol Windows. Additions to the 2010 Entertainment Series will be released soon.
It’s a Grand Affair! The 141st edition of the Nebraska State Fair opens Friday, August 27 and runs through Labor Day, Monday, September 6, 2010 at Fonner Park in Grand Island, NE. For more information on the Nebraska State Fair, visit www.statefair.org.
