Chris Stapleton is the great soulful traditionalist of modern country, a powerhouse singer and songwriter who fuses country, blues, soul and southern rock into something raw and timeless. Born in Lexington, Kentucky in 1978, he spent years in Nashville as a hit songwriter for other artists before his 2015 solo debut 'Traveller' made him a star almost overnight. His gritty, gospel-soaked voice and his slow-burning cover of 'Tennessee Whiskey' became a cultural phenomenon, cutting sharply against the slick 'bro-country' of the era. His records lean on warm, organic production — electric and acoustic guitar, Hammond organ, fiddle and a rhythm section that breathes — under songs about love, hard living and redemption. A guitarist's guitarist with a belt that recalls classic soul as much as outlaw country, he has become one of the most acclaimed and awarded artists in the genre. A multiple Grammy and CMA Award winner, he has also become an in-demand duet partner and songwriter, lending his voice and pen to artists far beyond country. For gritty, soulful, blues-drenched country sung by a powerhouse voice, Stapleton is a defining modern reference.
