Country music fans in the Ark-La-Tex have something big to look forward to this weekend as rising Texas country star Josh Ward takes the stage at Whiskey River Country Club in Texarkana, Arkansas.
The show is set for Saturday, January 30, with music beginning at 10:00 p.m. — and promises a night of authentic Texas-tuned country that’s rooted in real life and real grit.
Ward’s musical journey embodies the phrase he lives by: “All grit and no quit.” From a rough-and-tumble youth and competing on the rodeo circuit to the demanding labor of the Texas oil fields, Ward has carried that deep-rooted mindset into his music career.
He first broke onto the scene with his debut album Promises in 2011, and over the years has built a body of work that honors classic country traditions while telling honest, hard-earned stories. His albums include Holding Me Together, More Than I Deserve, and the recently released Same Ol’ Cowboy, Different Rodeo.
Ward has become a staple of the Texas country music world, earning multiple consecutive No. 1 hit singles on the Texas Regional Radio Charts, with fans praising his signature baritone and heartfelt songwriting. His music resonates with both longtime lovers of classic country and new audiences, reflected in millions of global streams on platforms like Spotify and strong engagement on YouTube.
On stage, Ward is known for his energetic performances and connection with the audience — often playing well over 200 shows a year and treating his fans like family.
Whether it’s a honky-tonk anthem or a soulful ballad, Ward’s brand of country music brings both heartfelt storytelling and down-home authenticity to every performance — and Texarkana’s Whiskey River Country Club is set to feel every bit of that on Saturday night.
Tickets are expected to be available at the door. Don’t miss your chance to see one of Texas’ hardest-working country artists live.
