Chris performed in a number of children’s theater productions when he was in high school.\u00a0 As his singing and performing skills improved, he became the house singer at a dance hall in Arlington, Texas.\u00a0 It was then he was encouraged to enter the contest on the TV show, ‘Nashville Star’.\u00a0 He\u00a0won the show, and that opened the door to a record contract with RCA.<\/p>\n
He has since released a half dozen albums, with the seventh to be released very soon, and has also been at the top of the chart several times.<\/p>\n
Chris was invited by Vince Gill to join the Grand Ole Opry, and in August of 2017, was officially inducted by Brad Paisley.<\/p>\n
