Christopher Alvin Stapleton[1][2] (born April 15, 1978) is an American singer-songwriter,[3][4] guitarist,[5] and record producer.[6] He was born in Lexington, Kentucky, and grew up in Staffordsville, Kentucky, until moving to Nashville, Tennessee, in 2001 to pursue a career in music writing songs. Subsequently, Stapleton signed a contract with Sea Gayle Music to write and publish his music.[7]
As of 2018[update], Stapleton has amassed credits writing and co-writing over 170 songs.[7] He has co-written six number-one country songs[8] including Kenny Chesney's five-week number-one "Never Wanted Nothing More", George Strait's "Love's Gonna Make It Alright", and Luke Bryan's "Drink a Beer".[9] His songs have appeared on many artists albums including Adele, Brad Paisley, and Dierks Bentley.[10] He has co-written with several artists as well including Vince Gill, Peter Frampton, Sheryl Crow and Ed Sheeran.[11] Stapleton has been recognized with several awards including five Grammy Awards, seven Academy of Country Music (ACM) Awards, and ten Country Music Association (CMA) Awards.
As a vocalist, Stapleton sang lead in two bands before he started recording as a solo artist including a bluegrass ensemble from 2008 to 2010 called The SteelDrivers. After that, he released his solo debut: the critically acclaimed studio album titled Traveller (2015), which reached number one on the US Billboard 200 and was certified triple platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). His second studio album From A Room: Volume 1 was released in May 2017, and earned him a second CMA Award for Album of the Year and also a Grammy Award for Best Country Album. From A Room: Volume 2 was released in December 2017.
Early life
Stapleton was born in a Lexington,[12] Kentucky, hospital. His mother, Carol J. (Mace) Stapleton, worked at the local health department and his father, Herbert Joseph Stapleton, Jr. (1946–2013),[13][14] was a coal miner. He comes from a family of coal miners.[15][16] He has an older brother, Herbert Joseph III and younger sister, Melanie Brooke.[17][18]
Stapleton grew up in the small town of Staffordsville, Kentucky, which is located just outside of Paintsville, located between the city and the Paintsville lake.[15] He graduated from Johnson Central High School where he played football and was his class salutatorian. He then attended Vanderbilt University where he studied engineering, but dropped out after a year.[19][20]
Music career
Career beginnings and bands
In 1999, Stapleton started a Travis Tritt tribute band in his home town of Staffordsville, Kentucky for a few months before embarking on his journey to become one of the most renowned country singer of this era. Stapleton often claims he listens to Travis Tritt to bring him back to his grass roots.[21]
In 2001, Stapleton moved to Nashville, Tennessee, to pursue a music career. As a songwriter, he signed with the publishing house Sea Gayle Music, a deal he got shortly after moving to Nashville.[22]
In 2007, he became the frontman for the bluegrass group The Steeldrivers. They had two hit records; each peaked at number 2 on the bluegrass chart before Stapleton left in 2010.[23]
In 2010, Stapleton founded a Southern rock band called The Jompson Brothers.[24] The band was made up of Stapleton on vocals, Greg McKee on guitar, J.T. Cure on bass, Bard McNamee on drums. They toured regionally until 2013 and at one point, opened for the Zac Brown Band.[25] The band independently released a self-titled album in November 2010.[26]
In 2013, Stapleton signed to Mercury Nashville, a division of Universal Music Group Nashville, as a solo artist.[3][4] His first single, "What Are You Listening To?", was released in October 2013, but did not perform as expected.[27] The single was part of a record that was recorded but never released.[28] Stapleton also cowrote the theme—"All-Nighter Comin'"—to the WSM-AM show, The WSM All Nighter with Marcia Campbell, an American radio show with a large trucker following. He cowrote the song with Vince Gill and Al Anderson, with Gill featured on vocals on the track.[29] Songs written by Stapleton have been included on to the soundtracks of several feature films, including Valentine's Day,[30] Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Road Chip.[31] and Hell or High Water.[32]
In 2013, Stapleton and his wife Morgane sang the Waylon Jennings song, "Amanda", live at the Grand Ole Opry.[33] They also did an NPR Tiny Desk Concert in November 2015.[34]
At the 2014 CMT Artist of the Year event, Stapleton performed with Lady Antebellum, who played Stapleton's song, "Drink a Beer", which Luke Bryan had recorded, in honor of Bryan, who was unable to attend the ceremony due to a death in his family.[35] Stapleton had previously sung it during Bryan's 2013 CMA Awards performance of the same song.[27]
Solo studio albums
Stapleton's debut solo album, Traveller, was released on May 5, 2015.[36][37] Recorded in Nashville's RCA Studio A, Stapleton co-produced the album with producer Dave Cobb.[38] On the album he plays guitar and sings with a live band that is made up of bass player J.T. Cure (from The Jompson Brothers), pedal steel player Robby Turner, drummer Derek Mixon, Mickey Raphael on harmonica, and wife Morgane Stapleton singing harmonies.[39] Stapleton emphasized the importance of the band lineup that came together during the making and promotion of the record, saying the familiarity he had with Cure and Mixon (he has known and played with Cure for over 20 years), plus Cobb's producing which included contributing acoustic guitar in the recording process, added to the richness of making the record.[40]
Stapleton said that the album was inspired by a cross-country road trip he took after his father died in 2013.[41] He said he wrote the title track "Traveller" while on a road trip with his wife, driving down Interstate 40 from Phoenix, Arizona, to Nashville via New Mexico.[29] His wife helped him to sift through 15 years worth of songs to pick 9 songs to start recording with.[42]
Stapleton won three awards at the 2015 Country Music Association Awards: Album of the Year, Male Vocalist of the Year, and New Artist of the Year.[43] At the CMA Awards, Stapleton performed with Justin Timberlake his version of the song popularized as a David Allen Coe live-show staple, "Tennessee Whiskey" and Timberlake's "Drink You Away".[44] Considered a career-defining moment by music publications,[45][46] the performance along with his wins that night lifted him to national prominence.[47] In December 2015, Stapleton received the 2015 CMT Artists of the Year Breakout award during a live performance at the annual CMT Artists of the Year show.[48][49][50] Traveller was nominated for the Grammy Award for Album of the Year and won the categories Best Country Album and Best Country Solo Performance.[51] It also won the Academy of Country Music Award for Album of the Year.[52] The top selling country album of 2016,[53] it has sold a total of 2 million copies domestically as of July 2017[update].[54]
In 2016, Stapleton – along with his wife Morgane – contributed the track, "You Are My Sunshine", to producer Dave Cobb's compilation record project, Southern Family.[55][56] He collaborated with Jake Owen on the song "If He Ain't Gonna Love You" on Owen's album American Love.[57] Stapleton performed on the main stage at the 2016 Country to Country festival in Europe along with Andrew Combs, Kacey Musgraves and headliner Eric Church. Stapleton was the musical guest on the Saturday Night Live episode which aired January 16, 2016, alongside host Adam Driver. He performed "Parachute" and "Nobody to Blame" from Traveller.[58]
In January 2016, Stapleton performed "Either Way", a song he wrote with Kendall Marvel and Tim James, at the Country Radio Hall of Fame's Country Radio Seminar in Nashville. It was previously recorded by Lee Ann Womack for her 2008 album, Call Me Crazy.[59] The track would be featured on his second studio album From A Room: Volume 1. Released on May 5, 2017,[60] Volume 1 takes its name from Nashville's RCA Studio A, where it was recorded during the winter of 2016–17.[61] The same month he embarked on his All-American Road Show Tour.[62] Volume 1 was certified gold in the US the next month, eventually giving Stapleton his second CMA for Album of the Year,[63] and became the best-selling country album of the year.[64] His third studio album From A Room: Volume 2 was released on December 1, 2017.[65] Both albums Volume 1 and Volume 2 debuted at number two on the Billboard 200 charts.[66]
Stapleton co-wrote three songs for Justin Timberlake's studio album Man of the Woods (2018), including their collaboration "Say Something", which officially reached the top ten list on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart.[67][68] Stapleton was the musical guest on Saturday Night Live for a second time on January 27, 2018, where he performed songs from From a Room: Volume 2 with Sturgill Simpson.[69] In March, "Broken Halos" off From A Room: Volume 1 reached the top of the Country Airplay chart.[70] It earned him the accolades for Song and Single of the Year at the 52nd CMAs, while he won Male Vocalist of the Year for a fourth time.[71] Stapleton recorded a cover of "I Want Love" for Restoration: Reimagining the Songs of Elton John and Bernie Taupin.[72]
Stapleton appeared as an extra in "The Long Night", the third episode of the eighth season of Game of Thrones.[73]
Artistry
Stapleton's musical influences range from outlaw country and bluegrass to rock and roll and blues.[74] Editors from NPR and Paste magazine described his sound as a blend of country, classic rock and Southern soul.[75][76] Before going solo, Stapleton led the progressive bluegrass band The SteelDrivers and the rock and roll band The Jompson Brothers.[77] His first solo album Traveller is an old-school country, Southern rock and bluegrass record,[78][79] and his second From A Room: Volume 1 focuses on country, blues and roots rock.[80] He played the acoustic guitar and electric guitar for both albums.[81][82]
Stapleton is a soul singer[83] with a tenor vocal range. After attending one of his concerts in 2015, Los Angeles Times' writer Randy Lewis opined his singing recalls "the note-bending style of country that traces to Merle Haggard and Lefty Frizzell and the gut-wrenching expressionism of blues and R&B perfected by Ray Charles", while his guitar performances elicits "memories of Texas blues rocker Stevie Ray Vaughan."[5] Stapleton has cited Charles, Otis Redding and Freddie King as some of his music influences,[84][85] along with Kentucky-based country artists, Keith Whitley, Dwight Yoakam and Patty Loveless: "the list goes on and on. Those names are just part of life in Kentucky. You can't help but be aware of them and be influenced by them."[12]

Stapleton is married to singer-songwriter Morgane Stapleton, who co-wrote Carrie Underwood's 2006 single "Don't Forget to Remember Me".[16][86][87] She had a recording deal with Arista Nashville.[88] The couple met when they were working at adjacent publishing houses.[40] They have four children and live in Nashville.[11] In October 2017, the couple announced they were expecting twins.[89] On April 15, 2018, (Stapleton's 40th birthday), host Reba McEntire announced live on the 53rd Academy of Country Music Awards that twin boys Macon and Samuel had been born to the Stapletons.[90] At his concert at Madison Square Garden on November 2, 2018, Stapleton announced that he and his wife were expecting their fifth child; he repeated the announcement at the Country Music Association awards on November 18, 2018. On April 28, 2019 he appeared as an extra in the HBO series Game of Thrones episode "The Long Night" as a wight.[91] On May 12, 2019, Morgane & Chris welcomed their fifth child, a baby boy, into their family.
