Saskatchewan Country Closeup – JJ Voss

Raised on a small farm in southern Saskatchewan, Americana artist JJ Voss began his journey in music at age 8 when he picked up his Dad’s old flat top, and has been following in the footsteps of legendary troubadours like Steve Earle, Tom Petty and Bruce Springsteen ever since.

Voss is paying tribute to his roots with his new single, “A Letter To Dad,” a poignant expression of what it means to come from a multi-generational farming family. Produced by Russell Broom (Jann Arden, Kyle McKearney), who also plays guitar, banjo and dobro on the track, “A Letter To Dad” is by far JJ’s most personal song to date.

Like many artists, the pandemic allowed JJ to reassess his artistic goals, and “A Letter To Dad” is the first taste of his renewed drive to be a voice for the working class, while updating the sounds of classic country for our modern world.

JJ Voss is our guest on the Saskatchewan Country Closeup. We talk new music and what’s on the way.
