My friend JJ Voss is visiting our virtual classroom today!
Here's a litt bit more info on him:
Raised on a small farm in southern Saskatchewan, JJ Voss began his journey in music at the age of 8 when he picked up his Dad’s old flat top.
Voss became known for his ability to fuse the ‘classic’ sounds of Country, into a piece of work that’s perfectly suited for our modern times.
He released his debut EP ‘Hillbilly Storybook’ in 2009 and In 2012, followed it up with his sophomore album, ‘Show ‘em Who’s Voss’, landing him a SCMA Roots Album of the Year award and chart action for 5 singles on Canadian Country radio. The album also received extensive international airplay, which led to Voss’ first overseas tour, playing shows in Germany, Ireland, France and the Netherlands, Colombia and Mexico in 2015.
In 2017 Voss was forced to take a hiatus from his career for one year to recover from major back surgery. Having been bedridden for a long period of time. He put pen to paper, and by 2018, he had written his 3rd album, ‘Come Along With Me’, which was released in March of 2020.
JJ will also be performing TWO songs for us:
"Time for Change" off of his record Show 'Em Who's Voss
"Some People" off of Come Along With Me
