The Hannah, South Carolina native is touring this spring in advance of the release of his upcoming album, Punching Bag. Josh Turner will be at the Tennessee Theatre tomorrow, Thursday, April 12 at 8 p.m. You can still purchase your tickets at the Tennessee Theatre box office, at all Knoxville Tickets outlets, online, or by phone at 865-656-4444.
