JOSH TURNER BRINGS HIS SIGNATURE BARITONE BACK TO FIREKEEPERS CASINO HOTEL
With a career spanning more than two decades, Josh Turner has established himself as one of country music’s most recognizable voices. Known for his rich baritone and traditional country influences, Turner has earned five No. 1 singles, including “Your Man,” “Why Don’t We Just Dance,” and “Long Black Train.” His music has generated more than 6 billion global career streams. His 2003 debut album, Long Black Train, earned Platinum certification from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), while its title track has been certified 2x Platinum.
Turner continues to build on that success with his latest album, “This Country Music Thing,” released through MCA Records. The album debuted in the Top 10 of the Country Albums chart and has accumulated more than 10 million global streams. His career has also taken him beyond the traditional country music stage. Inspired by his song “Two Steppin’ On The Moon,” Turner received an invitation to perform for astronauts aboard the International Space Station through a live connection with NASA’s Mission Control at Johnson Space Center.
His contributions to music have earned recognition across multiple genres, including a Grammy nomination and three GMA Dove Award nominations. In 2021, he won a Dove Award for his recording of “I Saw The Light” featuring Sonya Isaacs. Turner was also awarded the Order of the Palmetto in 2023, South Carolina’s highest civilian honor, and inducted into the South Carolina Entertainment and Music Hall of Fame in 2024.
“Josh Turner is a fan favorite, and we’re excited to welcome him back to FireKeepers,” said Jim Wise, Vice President of marketing at FireKeepers Casino Hotel. “His unmistakable voice and catalog of country hits make for a great night of live entertainment, and we’re looking forward to having him back on our stage.” Currently touring in support of This Country Music Thing, Turner continues to bring his music to audiences across the country. His return to FireKeepers will give fans another opportunity to hear longtime favorites alongside songs from his latest album.
