Chris Janson recently took the stage for the Country Now Live series, airing exclusively on CTRL_MUSIC_ on the interactive livestreaming service Twitch.

The “Waitin’ On 5” singer performed for thousands of viewers at home while raising money for the American Red Cross of Tennessee in support of flood victims.

Janson impressed viewers with his musicianship as he played guitar, drums, harmonica and keyboard throughout the hour-long show.

His set included performances of his chart-topping hits “Buy Me A Boat,” “Fix A Drink,” “Good Vibes” and his two-week No.1, “Done.”

Following his performance, Janson joined Country Now’s Lauren Black for a live Q&A session presented by Turbo Tax. The Grand Ole Opry member took questions from fans via the interactive Twitch chat, where he revealed the meaning behind his tattoos and opened up about life at home with his family.

The virtual concert took place at Brooklyn Bowl Nashville, the newest Nashville venue, which has established itself as a standout concert venue and proven leader in utilizing state-of-the-art production capabilities along with delivering the ultimate livestreamed concert experience.
