The new year-round channel is curated by the country star
SiriusXM has announced that Chris Stapleton will launch an exclusive year-round SiriusXM channel, Chris Stapleton Radio, on Thursday, May 23rd at noon ET. SiriusXM’s newest 24/7 channel will be available to subscribers across North America in their cars on channel 63 or anywhere they go with the SiriusXM app.
Chris Stapleton Radio will be curated and presented by Stapleton and his band The Honchos, and feature music spanning his career and the kings and queens of country, rock, soul, and more. The channel will also give listeners and fans a closer look at the stories behind his songs and the music that has influenced his career like Tom Petty, George Jones, John Prine, Lainey Wilson, Mavis Staples, Merle Haggard, Miranda Lambert, Tyler Childers, Bob Dylan and more.
“Chris Stapleton Radio gives people another way to connect with our music — where me and the rest of the guys in the band and Morgane are coming from. What our influences are. Knowing that when people come to watch a show, what they’re hearing is informed by the things that are on this channel. That’s probably the ultimate reason that I want to do this. We’re honoured and thrilled to bring Chris Stapleton Radio to life at SiriusXM,” Stapleton shares.
Chris Stapleton Radio joins an exceptional lineup of SiriusXM channels led by some of the biggest names in music, including Carrie Underwood’s Carrie’s Country, The Beatles Channel, Kenny Chesney’s No Shoes Radio, Kelly Clarkson Connection, Life With John Mayer and more.
Known for his electric live performances, Stapleton recently returned to NBC’s Saturday Night Live as a musical guest for the third time and will continue his extensive All-American Road Show through this fall. In addition to teaming up with Dua Lipa, Stapleton has new collaborations with Slash (“Oh Well”) and George Strait (“Honky Tonk Hall of Fame”) in addition to recording a version of “I Should Have Known It” for Petty Country: A Country Music Celebration of Tom Petty due this summer. Stapleton can also be seen co-headlining stadiums with George Strait this summer.
