Josh Abbott founded the Josh Abbott Band in Lubbock, Texas, in 2006 while attending Texas Tech University. The initial lineup included Abbott, Austin Davis, Neel Huey, and Andrew Hurt, performing at local open-mic nights. In 2007, the band recorded a four-song demo that included the track “Taste.” By 2008, Huey and Hurt departed, and Preston Wait and Eddie Villanueva officially joined, leading to the recording of their debut album, “Scapegoat,” that same year. The band began touring in 2008, building a regional following.
The group’s sophomore album, “She’s Like Texas,” released in 2010, marked their entry onto the Top Country Albums chart. This album featured the single “Oh, Tonight,” a duet with Kacey Musgraves, which reached number 44 on the Country Songs chart and later achieved Gold certification by the RIAA. Following this success, the band sold out Billy Bob’s Texas in Fort Worth, selling 6,000 tickets in 2010. Their third album, “Small Town Family Dream,” released in 2012, debuted at number 5 on the Top Country Albums chart and sold 21,000 copies in its first week. The music video for the second single from this album, “Touch,” featured reality TV personality Melissa Rycroft and her husband, Tye Strickland, and the song was included in the motion picture “The Longest Ride.”
In August 2015, the Josh Abbott Band released “Front Row Seat,” a concept album exploring Abbott’s relationship and divorce, debuting at number 9 on the Top Country Albums chart with 12,800 copies sold in its first week. The single “Amnesia” was premiered on SiriusXM The Highway. Their national television debut occurred in May 2016 on Jimmy Kimmel Live! with “Wasn’t That Drunk,” featuring Carly Pearce, followed by a performance of “Amnesia” on CONAN in January 2017. Their fifth studio album, “Until My Voice Goes Out,” released in 2017, incorporated string and horn sections and was supported by a national tour. In November 2020, they released their sixth album, “The Highway Kind,” produced by Marshall Altman. The band released their seventh studio album, “Somewhere Down The Road,” in January 2024, embarking on a tour that included a debut performance at the Stagecoach Festival.
