There's not many names in country music circles quite like Chris Stapleton. The Tennessee native marches to the beat of his own drum, and as luck would have it, that beat's catchy.

He's getting ready to hit the road again for The All-American Road Show, his 2025 tour, and he's holding something special for the Grand Canyon State.

Who is Chris Stapleton?

Born in Lexington, Kentucky, Chris Stapleton has always been close to bluegrass. The hills of the southeast embedded a love for the genre deep in his soul, but he was unable to capture his talent right out the gate. That all changed when he began school at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee.

He began writing music, and soon put together The SteelDrivers in 2007, a bluegrass band that he created to perform the music he was writing. Soon after, in 2010, he became the lead vocalist for rock group The Jompson Brothers. They performed regularly, even opening for The Zac Brown band in 2013, before he signed a solo deal that same year.

The rest is history.
