About

Chris Stapleton is an American country and blues-rock singer-songwriter from Lexington, Kentucky, who spent years as one of Nashville's most in-demand behind-the-scenes writers before breaking through as a solo artist with his debut album Traveller (2015). That record swept the CMA Awards and launched "Tennessee Whiskey" - now the first country song ever certified RIAA Double Diamond with over 20 million units sold. An 11-time Grammy, 19-time CMA and 21-time ACM Award winner, he stands apart from mainstream Nashville pop-country with his raw, blues-drenched voice and guitar-forward sound.
