We recently wrote about Chris Stapleton‘s debut album, Traveller, one of the records in popular country that’s been catching our ears this year. So we’re happy to learn that he won three awards at the CMA Awards this week: “Album of the Year,” “Male Vocalist of the Year” and “New Artist of the Year.” Chris performed at the CMAs too and brought out a pretty exciting guest: Justin Timberlake. JT duets with him and plays acoustic guitar on “Drink You Away” and “Tennesse Whiskey.” Check out the video of the full performance below.
Chris has tour dates coming up through April 2016, all of which are listed below. None are in or near NYC, but he was just in the area in October opening for Warren Haynes. No live dates for Justin scheduled at the moment.
