About Josh Abbott Band
Josh Abbott Band is a country band from Lubbock, TX.
Josh Abbott Band formed in Lubbock in the mid-2000s around singer Josh Abbott, with fiddle sitting at the front of the arrangements. The group built its following playing Texas dance halls and college bars before its songs began reaching wider country audiences.
'Oh, Tonight', a duet with Kacey Musgraves, gave the band its first broader exposure. The 2015 album 'Front Row Seat' was structured as a song cycle following a relationship from first meeting through to divorce, drawn from Abbott's own life, and included 'Wasn't That Drunk' with Carly Pearce.
