Ross shares, “When Julia sent this song and I heard it for the first time, I knew immediately I wanted to record it. The lyrics and theme of the song spoke directly to me. I’m so glad Julia and I were able to team up and shoot the music video together in Nashville. I’ve been a fan of Julia’s music for a while, so getting to work alongside someone so talented was a pleasure, and a bucket list moment for me.”
“Want This Beer” follows the release of Ross’ EP Complicated and latest single “Single Again”, recently serviced to Canadian radio and added to Spotify’s 2024 Songs of Summer List. Ross continues to bring a newfound honesty with his modern country-rock edge and poignant storytelling. Having garnered over 545 million global streams across his bustling catalogue, the breakout country star is only just getting started. Stacking acclaim in both Canada and the U.S., Ross earns five nominations at this year’s Canadian Country Music Awards (CCMAs) including Entertainer of the Year, Album of the Year, Fans’ Choice, Male Artist Of The Year, Single Of The Year for “Trouble”.
Ross’s debut U.S. headlining Single Again Tour follows his entirely sold-out The Trouble Tour across Canada earlier this year and kicks off next month with over 20 dates across the country. Already selling out numerous shows, fans can expect more live dates as he sets out to perform at major festivals throughout the Summer including Toronto’s Festival of Beer, Montreal’s Lasso Festival, and support on Luke Bryan’s Mind of a Country Boy Tour.
Ross continues to carve out his place in Country music on both sides of the border and anchoring himself as one of this generation’s most promising modern Country artists.
