A Little Bit About Chris
Chris Janson first made his mark
as a gifted songwriter, penning songs
for Tim McGraw, Hank Williams Jr.,
and Justin Moore. Eventually, he
evolved into one of the genre’s most
captivating total-package sensations,
being an artist in his own right.
Chris Janson, proud member of the
Grand Ole Opry and multi-platinum
songwriter and artist, bought his very
first Harmonica at Cracker Barrel. He
self-taught himself on the drums and
also plays piano, guitar, bass, and
harmonica.
Janson was born and raised in
Missouri but moved to Nashville, at
18, to pursue music right after high
school with a dream to play at the
Grand Ole Opry. Janson was known
to plead with the doorman at the
Tootsie’s Orchid Lounge to sing just
one song with their house band and
his patient tenacity paid off when
the bar’s owner hired him where he
played for tips. The young man’s
longing to play and work, busting
his tail to get in front of people, and
his work ethic, blossomed his career
journey from there.
Chris was finally invited to join
the Grand Ole Opry for the first time in February of 2015
stating, “It was an unbelievable defining moment for me,
words can’t really describe it” and he felt the Opry to
have “just something very special about it” being totally
“grateful and proud” to be playing it. A dream realized!
