Chris Stapleton will soon release his much-anticipated new album, Higher. Arriving on November 10, the project was produced by Dave Cobb alongside Stapleton and his wife, Morgane Stapleton. The 14-track release includes his chart-climbing single, “White Horse,” and was recorded at Nashville’s iconic RCA Studio A.
Just days before the release of the project, Stapleton will likely attend the 2023 CMA Awards as he is nominated for three trophies, including the night’s top honor, Entertainer of the Year. The esteemed singer/songwriter is also nominated for Male Vocalist of the Year and Musical Event of the Year for “We Don’t Fight Anymore” with Carly Pearce.
Recently, Stapleton received the ACM Triple Crown Award during the 2023 ACM Honors. Throughout his career, the country star has racked up an impressive number of awards from the Academy of Country Music including ACM New Male Vocalist of the Year, ACM Male Vocalist of the Year, and ACM Entertainer of the Year. As a result of these wins, Stapleton qualified to receive this year’s ACM Triple Crown.
“I’m so grateful to everybody that has supported me over the years,” he said while accepting the prestigious award.
Stapleton recently announced a run of shows in the U.K. in Ireland. Next fall, he will make stops at Manchester’s AO Arena, Glasgow’s OVO Hydro Arena, Dublin’s 3Arena, Birmingham’s Utilita Arena and London’s The O2, and more.
