Chris Janson
Chris
Janson, proud member of the Grand Ole Opry and multi-platinum songwriter and
artist, is part of country’s new breed. In touch with the lighter side of life
with self-penned No. 1s “Fix A Drink,” “Good Vibes,” and the triple platinum
“Buy Me A Boat,” as well as the more thoughtful truths of “Done,” “Things You
Can’t Live Without,” and the CMA Song of the Year nominee and ACM Video of the
Year “Drunk Girl.” Both “Boat” and “Girl” were named to the Nashville
Songwriters Association International’s prestigious “Songs I Wish I Wish I’d
Written” list, which is why artists like Tim McGraw (“Truck Yeah,” “How I’ll
Always Be”), Justin Moore (“Off The Beaten Path”), Cody Johnson (“Let’s Build A
Fire”), and the iconic Hank Williams Jr. (“God Fearin’ Man,” “Those Days Are
Gone”) reach for Janson’s songs for their own projects. Beyond his artistry are
his live shows, where all that heart-on-the-four-wheeler songwriting meets the
fans where they come to rock. Rolling Stone proclaimed him “a live
legacy in the making,” and Janson is a frequent presence at the nation’s
biggest country festivals, tours, and unexpected sit-ins. For a man known for
his outdoors lifestyle and collaborations with Bass Pro Shops and Cabela’s,
making music from his own life has established the harmonica-forward
multi-instrumentalist the go-to guy for young country for the last decade.
