Listen UP!

Meet singer/songwriter Chris Cavanaugh.

Cavanaugh realized that he wanted to pursue a career in the country music business after performing in a middle school talent show when he was just 12 years old. After high school, he moved to Tennessee and after earning his degree at Middle Tennessee State University, Chris signed his first songwriting deal.

Over the next few years, he spent his time on music row as a songwriter. During this time however, he says, “I always knew that deep down my ultimate passion was playing and performing, so I eventually had to get out and do something about it…I had to get on the road.”

So, that’s what he did. In the last year alone, Chris has opened shows for artists such as Pat Green, Luke Bryan, Eric Church, Jason Michael Carroll, and Justin Moore.

Cavanaugh’s songwriting credits include Colt Ford feat. Joe Nichols “She Ain’t Too Good For That” and the title track to Lonestar’s upcoming release, “Party Heard Around The World.”

Cavanaugh has already recorded a self-titled debut album complete with ten songs, all of which he co-wrote.

Listen to a few tracks from the album below:
