Josh Turner Biography
Josh Turner was born Nov. 20, 1977, and was raised in Hannah, S.C. Growing up in the church, he found himself singing the bass and baritone parts in numerous choirs. After high school, he moved to Nashville to pursue a career in
music and enrolled in Belmont University. After college, his fledgling career got a boost on Dec. 21, 2001, during his debut on the Grand Ole
Opry. "I sang a song I wrote, called 'Long Black Train,'" Turner says. "I was on cloud nine, standing there singing a song of mine, standing where
Johnny
Cash, Marty Robbins, Ernest Tubb, Hank
Williams, Patsy Cline and Roy Acuff had stood. All of a sudden, people started standing up and cheering. I wasn't even through with the song yet! I had two more verses and a chorus to go. By the end of the song, everybody was on their feet. I was in awe, just in shock.”
