Josh Abbott Band in El Campo

Josh Abbott Band is an American Texas-country group formed in Lubbock in 2006 by singer-songwriter Josh Abbott while he was studying at Texas Tech University. The band is known for songs including “Oh, Tonight,” recorded with Kacey Musgraves, “She’s Like Texas,” “Touch” and “Wasn’t That Drunk,” featuring Carly Pearce, as well as the albums She’s Like Texas, Small Town Family Dream and Front Row Seat.
