Chris Housman

Now based in Nashville, Chris has since realized a dream that seemed impossible when he was a kid; he has a thriving country music career that fully incorporates his identity as a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community. His debut albums title track, Blueneck, earned praise from Rolling Stone, Billboard, Good Morning America, and The Tennessean, and scored him a nomination for GLAADs Outstanding Breakthrough Music Artist Award. This summer, Chris makes his Grand Ole Opry debut, further expanding his growing audience of more than 400k followers who recognize themselves in his clever, close-to-the-bone songwriting that captures our modern time in a way few current country artists dare. Now, on his sophomore album, appropriately titled Dodge City, Chris recounts how he eventually found answers for all the thorny questions he was trying to avoid when he left that cow town. The opening title track captures the desperation of that initial escape. The rest of the album details the life Chris has lived in the years since as hes learned to walk tall and stand in his truth.
