ABOUT CHRIS YOUNG:

One of Billboard’s top country artists of the decade, the prolific hitmaker boasts 14 No. 1 singles and 11 Billion+ streams; an unbroken streak of success built on songs that balance country roots with a modern edge—and connect through real feeling. A member of the historic Grand Ole Opry, global arena headliner, and creative force of nature, the CMT Award winner and ACM, AMA, CMA and GRAMMY nominee has written and co-produced much of the work behind his 56 RIAA certifications, boasting a career which bridges multiple phases of country expression. His move to new label home, Black River Entertainment, ushered in a creative rebirth, producing a 14 track collection – I Didn’t Come Here To Leave.  The seasoned entertainer, named “one of his era’s finest traditionalists” by the Associated Press, co-produced the project alongside collaborator Andy Sheridan (Rascal Flatts, Avery Anna) and co-wrote 11 of the tracks.

Re-centering his foundation of timeless romance, while embracing the energy of his legendary live shows (and bringing his deep vocal rumble “back to my baritone roots”), the set represents the most complete cross-section of his creative vision – maybe ever – and the highest level of craftsmanship in Young’s remarkable career. The star’s keen country instincts take center stage as he ticks off multiple bucket-list boxes. Passionate attention to detail was poured over every syllable of every lyric, and with the old-school recording dynamic found only in a live studio band, the vivid result acts like Young’s career itself – a connecting point between the glory days of country’s past, and the exhilarating ecstasy of a new dawn. “It’s wild to step back and see a really long list of things I’ve gotten to do already. … But I didn’t come here to leave.”

His 2026 tour mixes headlining shows with festivals alongside Miranda Lambert, Jon Pardi, Ashley McBryde, Scotty McCreery and more. Chris launched his first-ever holiday tour last winter. Visit ChrisYoungCountry.com for a complete listing of 2026 tour dates!
