Hot country newcomer and dynamic multi-instrumentalist Chris Janson was invited to become an honorary “Friends and Family” member of the Country Music Hall of Fame® and Museum yesterday, April 23, 2013.

Since releasing his chart-climbing single “Better I Don’t,” Janson has been garnering nationwide buzz from media and fans alike. Already a fan-favorite live, “Better I Don’t” will be featured on his debut full-length album produced by Keith Stegall (Alan Jackson, Zac Brown Band), which is expected for release later this year via Bigger Picture Group.

With undeniable charisma, Janson brings a blue-collar, working-class, boot-stomping hillbilly redneck attitude to bear on every live performance, earning him opening slots for music legends Merle Haggard and Hank Williams Jr. The talented songwriter co-wrote Tim McGraw’s fastest rising single of his career with “Truck Yeah” and began writing at just 18 with an impressive group of musicians from the likes of Guns N’ Roses to Bill Anderson. The Perryville, Missouri, native first broke onto the Nashville music scene when he landed a year long, four show a day gig at Tootsie’s Orchid Lounge on Nashville’s Lower Broadway.
