Chris Housman Bio - ABRIDGEDIf Harlan Howard was right when he said “country music is three chords and thetruth”, then Chris Housman is one of the best qualified artists working in Countrytoday. Beyond the classic twang, rich six string backed sound, and disarmingKansas baritone, his offerings in the genre gently, yet unapologetically, speak histruth at every turn. As an openly gay country artist, he thoughtfully marries twoworlds that, to many, are at odds with one another. Whether it’s the fable-like“Drag Queen” which celebrates a small town teacher of the year who goes fromMichael to Michelle after hours, or the viral sensation “Blueneck”, a welcominghomespun manifesto that proudly declares “y’all means all”, Housman’s musicoffers a musical bridge in a divided time. Called “irresistible” by Rolling Stone, withGood Morning America praising him for “making waves”, and Billboard staunchlyaffirming him as a saving grace for “outcasts in the genre,” Housman’s message,embodied in his upcoming debut album “Blueneck”, is a simple one: Country is foreveryone. Given his 6 million+ streams and 264,000 online followers, it's clearly amessage that the world wants to hear.
