Chris Stapleton
CenturyLink Center

After being behind the scenes writing hits for country legends like Tim McGraw, Luke Bryan and even pop star Adele, Stapleton saddled up and began a solo career in 2015. His earthy voice is ready to hit the CenturyLink stage with songs from a few of his albums and we can’t wait for Part 2 of From A Room set to be out in late 2017.
