Josh Varnes is a Nashville-based singer, songwriter, and performer whose music blends the heart of Texas with the soul of Nashville. Born and raised in San Antonio, Texas, Josh grew up surrounded by a wide spectrum of sounds—from the grit of Southern rock and blues to the storytelling traditions of country music. Those influences shaped not only his vocal style but also his approach to songwriting: authentic, heartfelt, and always grounded in real-life stories.
 

Before pursuing music full-time, Josh worked as a traveling registered nurse, a career that took him across the country. The people he met and the experiences he lived through on the road gave him a deep well of inspiration, fueling songs that capture the struggles, joys, and resilience of everyday life. That season of travel became the bridge that led him to Nashville, where his passion for music finally became his central focus.
 

Since relocating to Music City, Josh has carved out a name for himself in the city’s thriving music scene. From intimate writers’ rounds to high-energy live shows, his performances reflect both his Texas grit and Nashville polish. His song “Goodbye Mama”—co-written with Shellemcline—showcases his ability to craft lyrics that are deeply personal yet universally relatable. Josh describes his songwriting mission simply: “Music should reflect the human condition in every form—serious or lighthearted—and always tell a story worth hearing.”
 

Now signed with Label 22 Records, Josh is channeling his energy into new recordings, collaborations, and performances that continue to expand his reach. His music balances raw storytelling with soulful delivery, bridging traditional country roots with modern Americana edge. Whether performing a heartfelt ballad or a foot-stomping anthem, Josh Varnes connects with audiences through honesty, authenticity, and the shared language of music.
