About Chris Young: Recently inducted as the newest member of the iconic Grand Ole Opry, Chris Young achieved another milestone this year with the release of Losing Sleep, his second consecutive studio album to debut at #1 on Billboard's Top Country Albums Chart. With seven albums to his credit, including 2015's Gold-certified, I'm Comin' Over, which earned multiple ACM, BBMA, CMA, CMT, Grammy and RDMA nominations and scored three consecutive chart-topping singles, Losing Sleep is the RCA Records artist's third project in less than two years. Named "one of his era's finest traditionalists" by the Associated Press, Chris has quickly become an international ambassador for country music, performing to packed houses around the world including his recent appearance at the sold-out C2C Festival in the UK. With a hit-packed set that highlights his nine chart-toppers - including "Gettin' You Home," "Voices," "Tomorrow," "I'm Comin' Over" and "Think Of You," - and seventeen Gold/Platinum certifications, he'll headline the Chris Young Losing Sleep 2018 World Tour with special guests Kane Brown and LANCO beginning in January.
