TORONTO, May 22, 2024
/CNW/ - SiriusXM Canada announced today that 10-time GRAMMY award
winning singer-songwriter Chris
Stapleton will launch an exclusive year-round SiriusXM
channel, Chris Stapleton Radio, on Thursday, May 23 at 12:00
pm ET.
SiriusXM's newest 24/7 channel will be available to subscribers
across North America in their cars
on channel 63 or anywhere they go with the SiriusXM app.
Chris Stapleton Radio will be curated and presented by Stapleton
and his band The Honchos, and feature music spanning his career as
well as the kings and queens of Country, Rock, Soul and more. The
channel will also give listeners and fans a closer look at the
stories behind his songs and the music that has influenced his
career like Tom Petty, George Jones, John
Prine, Lainey Wilson,
Mavis Staples, Merle Haggard, Miranda
Lambert, Tyler Childers, Bob
Dylan and more.
"Chris Stapleton Radio gives people another way to connect with
our music -- where me and the rest of the guys in the band and
Morgane are coming from. What our influences are. Knowing that when
people come to watch a show, what they're hearing is informed by
the things that are on this channel. That's probably the ultimate
reason that I want to do this. We're honoured and thrilled to bring
Chris Stapleton Radio to life at SiriusXM," said Chris Stapleton.
"Chris Stapleton is one of
country music's most prolific singer-songwriters today and we are
thrilled to collaborate with him on his own year-round SiriusXM
channel," said Scott Greenstein,
SiriusXM's President and Chief Content Officer. "We are truly
excited to have Chris bring his own channel to life, sharing with
our listeners not only his catalogue of music but his insights and
the music and artists that he loves and is inspired by."
Chris Stapleton Radio joins an exceptional lineup of SiriusXM
channels led by some of the biggest names in music, including
Carrie Underwood's CARRIE'S COUNTRY,
The Beatles Channel, Kenny Chesney's
No Shoes Radio, Kelly Clarkson Connection, Life With John Mayer and
more.

About Chris
Stapleton
Kentucky-born Chris Stapleton is a
10x Grammy, 16x CMA and 19x ACM Award-winner and one of the
country's most respected and beloved musicians. In the midst of yet
another triumphant year, Stapleton recently won four awards at
59th ACM Awards as well as two more trophies at the 66th Annual
GRAMMY Awards.
These accomplishments celebrate Stapleton's new
album, Higher, which was released this past fall to
overwhelming critical acclaim. Produced by Dave Cobb, Morgane Stapleton and Chris
Stapleton and recorded at Nashville's historic RCA Studio A, the record
landed on several "Best of" lists
including Billboard, Esquire, Los
Angeles
Times, Vulture and Rolling
Stone, who praises, "dazzling…the best evidence yet for the way
one man's voice has become synonymous with the very idea of a
musical genre." Additionally, The New
Yorker declares, "Stapleton is the rare country star
with both traditional bona fides and broad commercial appeal. He
has an outlaw soul and a pop star's capacity for inescapable
hooks," while GQ proclaims, "In an age rife with
division, he's maybe the only thing Americans all agree on."
Known for his electric live
performances, Stapleton recently returned to NBC's
"Saturday Night Live" as musical guest for the third time and will
continue his extensive "All-American Road Show" through this fall.
In addition to teaming up with Dua
Lipa, Stapleton has new collaborations with Slash ("Oh
Well") and George Strait ("Honky
Tonk Hall of Fame") in addition to recording a version of "I Should
Have Known It" for new Tom Petty
tribute album.
Stapleton and his wife, Morgane, are founders of the Outlaw
State of Kind charitable fund, which supports a variety of causes
that are close to their heart. Stapleton also recently
unveiled his new Traveller Whiskey, created in partnership with
Buffalo Trace Distillery's Master Distiller Harlen
Wheatley.
