Josh Ross Announces 2026 Canadian Tour with Chandler Walters

Universal Music Canada / MCA artist Josh Ross is a global force; a next-generation talent who’s anything but standard, and he’s just announced a massive tour. On an unconventional path of his own design, Ross pairs a dark and mellow blast of modern country with a warm vocal rasp and rock inclinations, heart-on-his-sleeve songwriting and addictive hooks that heed no borders. Pulling from a wide range of musical influences, the former collegiate football player has leveraged his knack for emotional song craft into a series of certified hits.

His dusky power ballad “Trouble” rose to #1 in Canada, earning Double Platinum certification in Canada and RIAA Gold certification in the U.S. The track also introduced what would become his 2024, 8-song EP, Complicated, which earned Ross his first-ever JUNO Award in 2025 for Country Album of the Year. On September 19, Ross doubles down on the emotive, rock-tinged country that has defined his worldwide ascent releasing his full-length debut album, Later Tonight. The album will include U.S. Radio #1 “Single Again” as well as recently released title track “Later Tonight”“Hate How You Look”, and “Leave Me Too.”

Canada-born and Nashville-based, the reigning 2024 CCMA Entertainer of the Year, 6x 2025 CCMA Award nominee, and winner of the 2024 CMA Jeff Walker Global Country Artist Award tallies over 1 billion streams, touring alongside hard-rocking, cross-genre superstars like Nickelback, Brantley Gilbert, Bailey Zimmerman, and Luke Bryan. Earlier this year, Ross was tour support to Jelly Roll on The Beautifully Broken Great Northern Tour across Canada, and will open select dates for Dylan Scott this fall. On his Later Tonight Tour, Josh will be joined by musician and songwriter Chandler Walters.
=Bringing energy back to the classic-country tradition, Chandler Walters is a 22-year-old multi-talented native of Marietta, Georgia, signed to Ern’s Cadillac Music / DeVille Records. Already a seasoned steel-guitar player and multi-Platinum, all-genre No. 1 songwriter, his burgeoning artistic career is now kicking off, schooled on a mix of rock and country influence. The guitar slinger moved to Nashville on a whim in 2021, picking up steel guitar and catching the attention of hitmaker ERNEST in the process, who promptly added Walters to his band. Traveling the world while learning song craft from the modern greats, he signed a publishing deal with Ern’s Cadillac Music in 2024, earning monster success as co-writer on Post Malone’s 5X Platinum, all-genre No. 1 single “I Had Some Help (feat. Morgan Wallen).” Walters posted six cuts on Post Malone’s F-1 Trillion in total, and has also co-penned tracks for ERNEST (including “I Went To College, I Went To Jail” (feat. Jelly Roll)), Bailey Zimmerman (“Is This Really Over?”), Charles Wesley Godwin (“Dead To Rights”), and more. Now signed to DeVille Records, he makes his artistic debut on Cadillac Sessions – a compilation album mixing classic style with a new-Nashville swagger, introducing Walters and his label mates to the world. Boasting organic, live-show inspired country sonics (with plenty of steel guitar) and a knack for modern language, tracks like “Whatever Happened to Us” find a proven hitmaker turning “real shit” into catchy, singalong anthems. Chandler is currently on the road opening for Post Malone on the Big Ass Stadium Tour while also playing pedal steel in Post’s band.
