Chris Stapleton, 15x ACM Award-winning singer, won Entertainer of the Year at last night’s 58th Annual ACM Awards. This is Stapleton’s first-time winning ACM Entertainer of the Year, qualifying him for the coveted ACM Triple Crown Award.
The accolade adds to yet another landmark year for Stapleton, who is in the midst of his extensive “All-American Road Show” tour. Upcoming stops include Milwaukee’s American Family Field, Mansfield’s Xfinity Center, Charleston’s Credit One Stadium, Gilford’s Bank of New Hampshire Pavilion (three nights), Memphis’ FedEx Forum, Alpharetta’s Ameris Bank Amphitheatre (two nights), Long Island’s UBS Arena, Houston’s Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion, Austin’s Moody Center (two nights), Tulsa’s BOK Center and Dallas’ Dos Equis Pavilion (two nights) among many others. See below for the complete itinerary. Special guests featured on the tour include Charley Crockett, Marcus King, Nikki Lane, Margo Price, Allen Stone, Marty Stuart and His Fabulous Superlatives and The War and Treaty.

In addition to the “All-American Road Show” dates, Stapleton will join George Strait for a series of stadium shows this year with special guests Little Big Town. Moreover, Stapleton also performed the national anthem at Super Bowl LVII this past February, of which the Associated Press praised, “Chris Stapleton didn’t need any high-tech help for a stellar performance during the national anthem. Stapleton stood at midfield with just a guitar and his smooth baritone voice, belting out an emotional rendition.”
Kentucky-born Stapleton is an 8x Grammy, 15x CMA and 15x ACM Award-winner and one of the country’s most respected and beloved musicians. This past fall, he was named CMA Male Vocalist of the Year for the sixth time—setting the record for most wins ever in the category. Additionally, his most recent album, Starting Over, won Best Country Album at the 67th Annual GRAMMYs as well as earning Album of the Year honors at both the 54th Annual CMA Awards and 56th ACM Awards. The record follows Stapleton’s pair of Platinum-certified releases from 2017, From A Room: Volume 1 and From A Room: Volume 2, as well as his x5 Platinum breakthrough solo debut album, Traveller.
In addition to his work as a musician, 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. Most recently, their “Kentucky Rising” concert last fall raised over $2.8 million to support flood relief in Eastern Kentucky.
