Chris Janson will soon spread all the “Good Vibes” with the release of his third major label project, Real Friends.

Arriving October 18, the album is one Janson couldn’t be more proud of.

Real Friends is my favorite album I’ve made yet, hands down,” Janson shared in a press release. “I made Real Friends with actual real friends. I produced the album with real friends, wrote all the songs with real friends, took all the photos for the project with my best friend and wife, Kelly, and I also have a huge collaboration on this album with one of my favorite ‘Ole’ friends!”

“I’m more excited about music now than I have been in all of my career,” he added. “Thank you to my fans, who truly are my real friends and helped me get where I am today.”

The singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist first gave fans a taste of new music earlier this year with the release of his current feel-good single, “Good Vibes.” Janson co-wrote the tune alongside heavy-hitters Ashley Gorley and Zach Crowell. He’ll soon bring “Good Vibes” to the Jimmy Kimmel Live! stage when he visits the popular late-night show on Wednesday, August 7.

Janson will continue to deliver new tracks to fans leading up to the release of Real Freinds. The tracks “Say About Me” and “Waitin’ On 5” are available now.

Chris Janson is currently headlining a number of his own shows as well as providing direct support on Chris Young’s Raised On Country Tour. Click HERE to see if he’s coming to a city near you.
