Syracuse,
NY – June 2024 / NewsmakerAlert: Fresh off being named the Canadian
Country Music Association’s Breakthrough Artist of the Year, Josh Ross
is set to bring his unique blend of country and rock to the Chevy Court
Stage on Friday, August 30 at 6:00 p.m.
|
 Ross,
who is heavily influenced by musical legends such as Metallica, Guns N’
Roses, and country outlaw Steve Earle, burst onto the scene in 2023 with
a string of platinum-certified Top 5 Canadian country hits, including his
breakthrough single “Trouble,” which peaked at No. 1.
Outside of Canada, Ross has
found similar success with his power ballads and sing-along hits that have
been streamed over 495 million times worldwide, which led him to be named
an Artist to Watch by Spotify, Amazon Music, Pandora, MusicRow, the Grand
Ole Opry, and others.
Ross has already toured with
some of music’s biggest names, including Brantley Gilbert, Nickelback,
and Bailey Zimmerman. The singer-songwriter will continue touring in 2024
alongside Luke Bryan as part of the “Mind of a Country Boy” tour with two
more stops in New York State.
“One of the best things about
the Chevrolet Music Series at The Fair is the variety of entertainment,”
said
Julie LaFave, Interim Fair Director. “Fairgoers have a chance to see
some of music’s brightest newcomers like Josh Ross and award-winning legends
who have been a part of pop culture for as long as we can remember. The
Great New York State Fair provides fans with countless opportunities to
hear their favorite songs live, while serving up those ‘were you there
when?’ moments, too. As you plan out the rest of your summer, we hope you’ll
reserve a few afternoons and evenings to take in all that The Fair has
to offer!”
The Fair starts Wednesday,
August 21, and runs through Labor Day, Monday, September 2.
All concerts are included in the price of admission, which will go on sale
later this summer. The Great New York State Fair is the most affordable
state fair in the country. Tickets are $8 for adults while admission is
free for children under 12 and senior citizens aged 65 and older.
In total, The Fair’s Chevrolet
Music Series will feature 39 national recording acts. There will be a daily
1 p.m. and 6 p.m. concert at Chevy Court (located near Gate 1),
and a daily 8 p.m. concert at Suburban Park (located on the western
