It’s been a huge year for newcomer Chris Janson who has been announced as the latest featured CMT Listen Up artist.
Janson was catapulted onto the mainstream country scene following the release of his latest single, “Buy Me a Boat.” The track took the No.1 slot on the iTunes charts this spring and quickly became one of the hottest songs of the summer songs.
CMT teamed up with the singer to create his very first music video and performed “Buy Me a Boat” on the 2015 CMT Music Awards during his first nationally-televised appearance.
The Missouri native’s humble nature and contrastingly energetic stage vibe also made him the perfect fit for Toby Keith’s Good Times and Pickup Lines tour this summer. Janson continues to steadily build his fan base, and the growing crowds are evident with every video the singer shares socially.
Meanwhile Janson is looking forward to the upcoming release of his debut album for Warner Bros Nashville.
