Josh Thompson Shares Stage With Soldier

Josh Thompson Performs With Soldier Contest Winner

This weekend, Evan Masters, a soldier in the Minnesota Army National Guard, had the opportunity of a lifetime – sharing the stage with his favorite country artist, Josh Thompson. Masters was the winner of a contest held in April surrounding the release of Thompson’s current album Turn It Up.

In the contest, fans submitted a 15 second clip performing a cover of one of Josh’s songs on Instagram in order to win a chance to perform a song with him live. Thompson himself chose the winner, and Masters picked Thompson’s Friday night show at Toby Keith’s I Love This Bar & Grill in Denver to perform “You Ain’t Seen Country Yet” with him. Several of Masters’ hometown friends from Minnesota surprised him by flying to Denver to catch the performance, and spent time with Josh and his band on his bus following the show.
