With multiple critically acclaimed albums under his belt, including his latest offering, Blood, Ketchmark continues to deliver inspired and authentic music that captivates audiences.

Released in 2022, Blood marks Ketchmark’s tenth studio album and was self-produced by the talented musician himself.

Tony Paoletta provides lap steel, Sadler Vaden contributes guitar on two thirds of the tracks, and Nick Nguyen adds banjo and viola to the mix. The result is a rich and diverse sound that showcases Ketchmark’s skill as a songwriter and producer.

Ketchmark’s latest single, “No Stopping Us”, is a coming of age song about pressing forward towards one’s goals. Written, composed, produced, engineered, and mixed by Ketchmark himself, the song is closely based on his own experiences growing up two and a half hours south of Chicago. C.C. Wyle contributes stunning vocal harmonies, Zak St. John of Black Star Riders and Stevie Wonder provides drum and percussion, Ger Hoffman plays bass, Michael Webb performs the organ, and Sadler Vaden of Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit and Morgan Wade adds electric guitar to the mix.

With its powerful lyrics and haunting melodies, “No Stopping Us” is a testament to Joshua Ketchmark’s unwavering passion for his craft. The song’s themes of perseverance and determination will resonate with listeners of all ages, making it a standout track on the already impressive Blood album.
