Chris Stapleton At Shoreline Amphitheatre

In Music August 31, 2017 by Camille Miller

BEARDO COUNTRY: Chris Stapleton has been behind hits for some of country's biggest stars. Now he's making waves as a solo artist.

Chris Stapleton has been riding high on the country music charts for a while now. His debut solo album, Traveller, made headlines in 2015 and became the top-selling country album the following year—catalyzing his breakthrough from cult favorite to award-winning star. But the big-bearded, long-haired American singer-songwriter is in no way a “new artist.” Before bursting onto the scene, he sang in the Grammy-nominated bluegrass band The Steeldrivers and penned chart-topping singles for Kenny Chesney and Luke Bryan. With his name out of the credits and on centerstage, Stapleton embarks on an extensive tour in conjunction with his latest release, From A Room: Volume One.
