In addition to his own tour dates, Chris Young has been on the road this summer with Dierks Bentley. And with Dierks and Chris celebrating summertime number-one hits within a few weeks of each other — Dierks with “Drunk on a Plane” and Chris with “Who I Am with You” — Chris recently told reporters that it’s made the tour just that much more fun. (AUDIO INFO BELOW)
- Chris is new on the charts with “Lonely Eyes,” the latest single from his A.M. album, which also features “Aw Naw” and “Who I Am with You.”
- Chris will be back on the road with Dierks later this month! Check out ChrisYoungCountry.com for all of Chris’ upcoming shows!
- And a big tip of the hat to Chris, whose fan club event this summer was staged to benefit the Nashville School of the Arts (NSA). On Monday, Chris visited the school to participate in the student-produced “NSA Presents” program, where he donated $30,000 to assist in renovating the NSA school auditorium. A press announcement noted that “NSA is the only arts magnet high school within Metro Nashville Public Schools, offering its students the ‘rare combination of rigorous, college preparatory curriculum instructed with intensely focused instruction in the performing or visual arts.'”
Chris Young talks about being on Dierks Bentley’s Riser Tour. (:14)
“The tour’s amazing. My whole summer’s been great. And you know, when you start talkin’ about a tour like that, it’s really cool because anytime that you’ve got multiple people on one tour having chart-topping hits all at the same time, it’s a really good sign.”
