About Me


View J.J. Voss's EPK
Raised on a small farm in rural Saskatchewan during the tough economic times of the 80’s , I grew up identifying closely with the underdog, outlaw music movement and my heroes include Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings and Steve Earle to name a few.
I’ve been working on and compiling my musical resume my entire life, from playing in and managing bands throughout high school to touring Canada in the 90’s as a lead guitarist and on to learning the art of audio production, both live and in the recording studio.
August 26, 2008 marked the release of my debut album Hillbilly Storybook including three songs I wrote. Recorded and produced in my own studio with the help of some of the best in the Canadian music industry, I am incredibly proud of my first effort as a solo artist and am enthusiastic about playing my own songs live.
2009 marks the first full year of promoting my debut CD! Hillbilly Storybook has been released to Canadian College radio and the Americana market in the U.S. and Europe.
My music is being received quite well so far in the United States and Canadian College radio is slowly acquiring a taste for it (acoustic flavoured music is a tougher sell to college radio).
I'm taking my band and heading to the guitar town down in Tennessee for a couple weeks in March to play on the Billy Block show ( www.billyblock.com ) and I will be posting a full itinerary shortly ( details are still being confirmed).
Check out my official web site at www.jjvoss.com ! In addition to my CD Hillbilly Storybook, I have some very cool looking clothes there for sale.
Looking forward to getting out on the road and taking my music to the people in 2009. Hope to see you out at one of my shows!
