A proud member of the Grand Ole Opry and multi-platinum songwriter and artist, Chris Janson is part of country’s new breed. In touch with the lighter side of life with self-penned number-one hits “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 “Drunk Girl,” Janson’s songwriting has more than once earned him a spot on the Nashville Songwriters Association International’s prestigious “Songs I Wish I’d Written” list, which is why artists like Tim McGraw, Justin Moore and the iconic Hank Williams Jr. reach for Janson’s songs for their own projects.
Rolling Stone proclaimed Janson “a live legacy in the making,” and he is a frequent presence at the nation’s biggest country festivals, tours and unexpected sit-ins. For a man known for his outdoors lifestyle, making music from his own life has established the harmonica-forward multi-instrumentalist the go-to guy for young country in the last decade.
