By: Tori Hartshorn Mar. 01, 2018
Chris Stapleton leads nominees at the 53rd Academy of Country Music Awards with eight nominations in five categories: Entertainer of the Year, Male Vocalist of the Year,Album of the Year (From A Room: Volume 1 as both artist and producer), Single Record of the Year ("Broken Halos" as both artist and producer) and Song of The Year ("Whiskey and You" as both artist and songwriter).
The nominations continue a triumphant 2018 for Stapleton, who recently won Best Country Album (From A Room: Volume 1), Best Country Song ("Broken Halos") and Best Country Solo Performance ("Either Way") at the 60th GRAMMY Awards. Stapleton also joined legendary artist Emmylou Harris on the live GRAMMY broadcast for a performance of "Wildflowers" in tribute of Tom Petty. Additionally, earlier this year, Stapleton returned to NBC's "Saturday Night Live" as well as CBS's "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" and made his debut on PBS's "Austin City Limits."
In celebration of From A Room: Volume 1 as well as the more recent From A Room Volume 2, Stapleton will hit the road again this year as part of the expansive "Chris Stapleton's All-American Road Show" tour. Dates include New York's Madison Square Garden, Los Angeles' The Forum and Chicago's Hollywood Casino Amphitheatre among many others. Produced by Live Nation, the tour will feature Marty Stuart and Brent Cobb as special guests. All tickets are now on-sale. See below for complete tour itinerary.
Both Volume 1 and Volume 2 take their name from Nashville's historic RCA Studio A (the capital "A" in "From A Room") where they were recorded with Grammy Award-winning producer Dave Cobb. Along with Stapleton on vocals and guitar and Cobb on acoustic guitar, the album features Morgane Stapleton on harmony vocals as well as longtime band-members J.T. Cure on bass and Derek Mixon on drums.
Moreover, Stapleton is featured on Justin Timberlake's new song, "Say Something." The music video-which was filmed in a single shot at L.A.'s historic Bradbury Building-has been viewed over 81 million times. Watch here.
