The singer moved to Nashville in 2019 to pursue a career in music full-time and gain a deeper connection to the music scene. With a powerful show opening, the band ran through snippets of “Hells Bells”, “Hot for Teacher”, and “Kickstart My Heart”, before the curtain dropped, revealing Ross and his band. Throughout the night, the singer dug into some of his staples like “Ain't Doin' Jack”, “On a Different Night”, and “First Taste of Gone.” He also debuted some songs off his new album Later Tonight, including “Hate How You Look”, “Leave Me Too,” and “Drunk Right Now (Na Na Na)”. Last summer at a show in Indiana, Ross was in a bit of controversy as the Canadian singer called the US “the best” country in the world, bearing an American flag and chanting USA with the crowd — the singer later apologized for his actions. With his 2026 Canadian tour, he started in New Brunswick and is now making his last stop in Vancouver. Ross continued to pour out his appreciation for the crowd throughout the night, and before “My Side Of Town,” he exclaimed he was “happy to be back home in Canada.”  Hunter Soo Hunter Soo Hunter Soo Hunter Soo Hunter Soo Hunter Soo Hunter Soo Hunter Soo Hunter Soo Hunter Soo Hunter Soo Hunter Soo Hunter Soo Hunter Soo Hunter Soo Hunter Soo Hunter Soo Hunter Soo Hunter Soo Hunter Soo   Join the discussion Facebook comments not loading?
