11-time Grammy Award-winner Chris Stapleton won Best Country Solo Performance at the 67th Annual Grammy Awards with his song “It Takes A Woman.”
The accolade adds to yet another landmark year for Stapleton, who will kick off Super Bowl weekend with an exclusive concert for SiriusXM and Pandora at New Orleans’ The Fillmore this Thursday, February 6. The performance will also air in its entirety on SiriusXM’s Chris Stapleton Radio (ch. 63), which is now available for free in all SiriusXM-equipped vehicles throughout February as part of their all-new “Free To Air” program.
Known for his electrifying live shows, Stapleton will continue his “All-American Road Show” tour through this summer, including back-to-back nights at New York’s Madison Square Garden, Denver’s Ball Arena, Tinley Park’s Credit Union 1 Amphitheatre, Phoenix’s Desert Diamond Arena, and Grand Rapids’ Van Andel Arena, among others. Special guests on the tour include Mike Campbell & The Dirty Knobs, Marcus King, Nikki Lane, Grace Potter, Maggie Rose, Brittney Spencer, Allen Stone, Marty Stuart & His Fabulous Superlatives, and The War & Treaty. See below for the complete tour itinerary.
These performances follow the release of Stapleton’s acclaimed album, Higher (Mercury Records). Produced by Dave Cobb, Morgane Stapleton, and Chris Stapleton, the record landed on several “Best of” lists, including Billboard, Esquire, Vulture, and Rolling Stone, which praised it as “dazzling… the best evidence yet for the way one man’s voice has become synonymous with the very idea of a musical genre.” Additionally, GQ declared, “In an age rife with division, he’s maybe the only thing Americans all agree on… one of the most reliable hitmakers in music,” and NPR Music proclaimed, “Higher puts him where he always really was—in that classic kind of rock and soul, Tom Petty, Eagles, going beyond the confines of the genre.”
An 11-time Grammy, 19-time CMA, and 19-time ACM Award-winner, Stapleton won three trophies at the 58th Annual CMA Awards this past fall. With this achievement, he tied the record for most CMA wins ever with Brooks & Dunn, while also extending his own record for most wins in the Male Vocalist of the Year category (eight).
Moreover, Stapleton recently collaborated with Post Malone (“California Sober”), Dua Lipa (“Think I’m In Love With You (Live from the 59th ACM Awards)”), Slash (“Oh Well”), and George Strait (“Honky Tonk Hall of Fame”). He also released a version of Tom Petty’s “I Should Have Known It” for the new Tom Petty tribute album and returned to NBC’s “Saturday Night Live” for the third time as a musical guest.
He previously performed the National Anthem at Super Bowl LVII (2023) and has collaborated with Adele, Taylor Swift, Bruno Mars, Ed Sheeran, Justin Timberlake, P!nk, Sheryl Crow, Santana, and many more.
Throughout his renowned career, Stapleton has released five studio albums, including Starting Over, which won three awards at the 64th Annual Grammy Awards, in addition to earning Album of the Year honors at both the CMA and ACM Awards. Called “a sure-footed masterpiece” by the Associated Press, the album landed on “Best of 2020” lists at NPR Music, Rolling Stone, Billboard, Esquire, Vulture, The Tennessean, and The New York Times, which declared:
“Chris Stapleton’s roar isn’t designed to scare you off. It’s regal, an announcement of an alpha figure asserting his primacy… on this, his fourth album, the thrill is back.”
Prior to Starting Over, Stapleton released a pair of Platinum-certified albums in 2017—From A Room: Volume 1 and From A Room: Volume 2—as well as his 5x Platinum breakthrough solo debut album in 2015, Traveller.
In addition to their work as musicians, the Stapletons are founders of the Outlaw State of Kind charitable fund, which supports a variety of causes close to their hearts. Stapleton also recently unveiled his new Traveller Whiskey, a first-of-its-kind collaboration created in partnership with Buffalo Trace Distillery’s Master Distiller Harlen Wheatley.
