Biography |
Chris Young is a 6-foot-4 old soul in a young body who has a
continuing love affair with traditional country music. He's
played everywhere from Borders Bookstores and coffee shops
in more than eight states, to the Country Thunder Festival
in Wisconsin and Big Spring Jam in Alabama. He has opened
for artists such as Ronnie Milsap, Tracy Lawrence, Lonestar,
Tracy Byrd, Cowboy Crush, and many others. He's appeared on
television from the stage of the Grand Ole Opry House in
Nashville, played Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C.,
performed at the famous Apollo Theater in New York during
Grammy week, and fronted the house band at the world famous
Cowboy's Dancehall in Arlington, Texas. Chris co-produced
two full-length CDs and a Christmas album, wrote or co-wrote
most of the songs on them, financed them himself, and
marketed them from the trunk of his car while driving all
over the country -- he had to, he's not old enough to rent a
car!
Chris has made stops along the way to perform at Fort Sill
and Fort Bliss to play for our troops, and he played
fundraisers for the McMinnville Senior Center in Tennessee
and Creative Community Living in Kansas to raise extra money
for programs at both.
In his spare time, Chris is pursuing a bachelor's degree in
recording industry management. |
