Chris Janson at the Niswonger Performing Arts Center

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. 1 “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.”

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 Cabelas, making music from his own life has established the harmonica-forward multi-instrumentalist the go-to guy for young country for the last decade.
