Breakout country star and platinum-selling recording artist Chris Janson will perform as part of ‘LIVE AT THE RYMAN’ on August 28, bringing an exclusive livestream performance to fans at home from the iconic venue. The performance will mark the Grand Ole Opry member’s third headline show at the Ryman. Tickets are on sale now at www.ryman.com.
The high-octane entertainer is a three-time CMA nominee and has collected prestigious accolades that place him amongst country music greats. He recently notched his fourth No. 1 and first multi-week chart-topping single with “Done.” He took home the trophy for ACM Video of the Year for his Gold-certified, inspiring hit song “Drunk Girl,” which also earned the Song of the Year title at the 2018 MusicRow Awards and was named one of the “Ten Songs I Wish I’d Written” by NSAI. His chart-topping, triple-Platinum smash “Buy Me A Boat” from the Gold-certified album of the same name also earned the NSAI honor, making him one in a handful of the industry’s most elite artists to earn the title multiple times.
LIVE AT THE RYMAN is a hybrid concert model developed by Opry Entertainment with input from the company’s official wellness advisor, Vanderbilt Health, designed to allow fans from across the country and around the world to experience live music from home while also safely and responsibly welcoming back a limited number of guests to experience the series in person as soon as local health regulations permit.
“I’m always thrilled to play the Ryman, and I’m looking forward to being back on stage with my band more than ever,” Janson said. “I’m also excited to sing my latest country radio hit ‘Done,’ one of the most special songs of my career, and to play my newest single ‘Waitin’ On 5’ for everyone watching at home!”
The six-week, Friday night series will launch first via the Mandolin livestream platform and expand to incorporate a small, socially distanced audience in accordance with local health ordinances. Ryman Auditorium will strictly comply with operating plans developed in partnership with Vanderbilt Health and approved by Nashville Public Health Department that include mandatory masks for all Ryman operations and production staff, as well as enhanced cleaning practices.
