If Harlan Howard was right when he said “country music is three chords and the truth”, then Chris Housman is one of the best qualified artists working in Country today. Beyond the classic twang, rich six string backed sound, and disarming Kansas baritone, his offerings in the genre gently, yet unapologetically, speak his truth at every turn.
As an openly gay country artist, he thoughtfully marries two worlds 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 from Michael to Michelle after hours, or the viral sensation “Blueneck”, a welcoming homespun manifesto that proudly declares “y’all means all”, Housman’s music offers a musical bridge in a divided time.
Called “irresistible” by Rolling Stone, with Good Morning America praising him for “making waves”, and Billboard staunchly affirming 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 for everyone. Given his 4.5 million streams and 230,000 online followers, it’s clearly a message that the world wants to hear.
