About Chris Stapleton

His shows are quiet affairs where thousands of people seem to forget how to talk. He plays with a backing band but the focus never leaves his voice. The crowd hangs on every word like he might not come back for an encore. No banter, no showmanship—just a man and his guitar for two hours straight.

Known for Tennessee Whiskey, Traveller, Nobody, From A Room: Volume 1, Starting Over Again

Kansas City road trip to see Chris Stapleton?

Stay in Midtown, where the neighborhood has a real rhythm to it beyond just the venue. Hit up Betty Rae's for upscale barbecue that actually justifies the hype, then walk it off exploring the galleries and vintage shops along Baltimore. Catch a show at the Truman or Liberty Hall depending on the size, but leave time to visit Union Station—it's legitimately one of the finest Beaux-Arts buildings in the country, and worth seeing even if you're just passing through. The Power and Light District is there if you want drinks after, but Midtown's got better bones.
