Country music star Josh Turner performs hits such as "Your Man" and "Would You Go with Me" when he performs at the Mayo Performing Arts Center on Tuesday, August 12 at 8 pm. Tickets are $59-79.

One of country music's most recognizable hit-makers, earning numerous CMA, ACM and GRAMMY nominations since the release of his debut album, Long Black Train, Josh Turner has sold more than five million albums and garnered four No. 1 hits (including three multi-week chart-toppers): "Your Man," "Would You Go With Me," and "Why Don't We Just Dance" (a four-week No. 1 that was named the most-played song of the year in 2010 by MediaBase). His song, "All Over Me," from Haywire also reached the top spot on the charts.

A Hannah, S.C. native, Turner has been writing songs and performing since he was a young child, and in support of music education, created The Josh Turner Scholarship Fund to assist students interested in pursuing a future in arts/music. As a high school student, he had very little access to music education, therefore realizes first-hand the importance of arts in the schools.

Turner released his fifth studio album, Punching Bag on June 12, 2012 which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Country Albums Chart. The debut single, "Time is Love" was #1 on the Best of 2012 Billboard Country Chart. The Associated Press says, "With Punching Bag, Turner once again proves he ranks among the most effective -- and most hard-core country -- performers of his generation."
