Throughout the chaos of CMA Music Festival, Chris Janson found the calm within the quiet moments before cruising through his crowded Thursday schedule during the event of the summer.

The “Fix a Drink” singer gave Sounds Like Nashville a behind-the-scenes view at his life during the kickoff day of the country weekend, including his performance at the Riverfront Stage in downtown Nashville and a fan club party where he got to interact with the people who push his music to the next level.

One of Janson’s strongest qualities as an artist in country music remains his ability to connect with his supporters, and he made sure they all got their conversations in with him during his fan fiesta at Wildhorse Saloon. Performing some of his latest sounds for the group as well as even inviting a lucky fan up on stage to join along in “Buy Me a Boat,” Janson made the experience as personable as he could for those who traveled miles upon miles to get the chance to meet the country singer.

Receiving a roar of cheers as he walked from his bus ramp to center stage at the Riverfront, Janson definitely felt the love from the family he knows as country music fans out in the audience. Enjoying the rather mild summer weather, Janson redefined what an outdoor show should look like with his energetic live performance.

Janson’s recent EP, Fix a Drink EP, is available now on streaming services.
