The upcoming performances add to yet another landmark year for Stapleton, who is nominated for two awards at the upcoming 67th Annual Grammy Awards: Best Country Album (
Higher) and Best Country Solo Performance (“It Takes A Woman”). Additionally, Stapleton won three awards at the CMA Awards this past fall, making him a 19x CMA Award-winner. With this achievement, Stapleton 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).
Produced by Dave Cobb, Morgane Stapleton and Chris Stapleton,
Higher landed on several “Best of” lists including
Billboard,
Esquire,
Vulture and
Rolling Stone, who praised, “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 hit makers 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.” Listen to
Higher HERE.
The 10x Grammy, 19x CMA and 19x ACM Award-winner has also 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”), 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 musical guest. Additionally, he performed the National Anthem at 2023’s Super Bowl LVII and has collaborated in recent years with Adele, Taylor Swift, Bruno Mars, Ed Sheeran, Justin Timberlake, P!nk, Sheryl Crow, Santana and many more.
Higher follows 2020’s acclaimed
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 “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, who 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 releases 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 that are close to their heart. 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.
