How much are the cheapest Chris Stapleton concert tickets?
Vivid Seats is the New York Post's official ticketing partner. We may receive revenue from this partnership for sharing this content and/or when you make a purchase. Featured pricing is subject to change. Grab yer Stetson, pardner. Chris Stapleton is midway through his annual 'All-American Roadshow Tour' and has another 17 shows and festival dates remaining on his 2025-26 calendar. That includes three (!) in New York State. First up, the 11-time Grammy winner gallops into Belmont Park's UBS Arena on Wednesday, July 23 with special guests Margo Price and Nikki Lane. Soon after, he'll lasso his crew and trot into New York City's Madison Square Garden for a pair of concerts. They'll take place on Friday, July 25 and Saturday, July 26. Grace Potter joins him at both shows. If you want to be there to see the powerfully-voiced singer croon along with his wife Morgane and backing band live, tickets are available for all of his upcoming concerts. At the time of publication, the lowest price we could find on tickets for any one show was $87 including fees on Vivid Seats. Other non-festival headlining shows have tickets starting anywhere from $89 to $397 including fees. Based on our findings at Set List FM, the 47-year-old country superstar has been performing roughly 25-26 songs at concerts with little variation. Stapleton staples like 'Outlaw Song,' 'Traveller,' 'Tennessee Whiskey,' 'It Takes a Woman' and 'Bad As I Used To Be' (from the recently-released summer blockbuster 'F1') always make the cut; occasionally a fan request sneaks in too. 'While playing, Stapleton appeared reserved, with a right-to-work demeanor when it came to each song,' On Milwaukee wrote about his recent set at the Harley-Davidson Homecoming. That is, of course, while still being able to casually deliver proficient guitar work whenever he felt like he needed to, and carrying vocals along with his wife, Morgane, by his side. The duo would harmonize with one another with an intimacy about it that felt like you were a guest in their living room, with about 50,000 other houseguests.'

'Outlaw State of Mind' Chris Stapleton New York special guests At all 'All-American Road Show Tour' concerts, Stapleton will bring a talented friend or two along for the ride. To make sure you're familiar with their respective sounds for his New York shows, our team found each act's most streamed song on Spotify. Margo Price: 'Roll Me Up and Smoke Me When I Die' (with Willie Nelson) Nikki Lane: 'Breaking Up Slowly' Grace Potter: 'Love Is Love' Chris Stapleton new music Stapleton dropped his fifth studio album 'Higher' in November 2023. Made up of 14 soulful tracks, the record features all the classic elements that make Stapleton records special. That's to say, 'Higher' is gritty, lo-fi and painfully vulnerable. We were particularly moved by the tearful sing-a-long 'What Am I Gonna Do,' hard-edged 'South Dakota' and stripped down, intimate 'It Takes A Woman.' Bluesy 'Think I'm In Love With You,' laid-back 'Loving You On My Mind' and low-key 'Higher' are also worthy of repeat plays. Still, the must-listen here is the anthemic, hard-charging 'White Horse' that Stapleton absolutely wails on for nearly 4.5 minutes. The country-fried 'Crosswind' ain't half bad either. To listen to the heartfelt 'Higher' in its entirety, you can find the classic rock-like album here.

Chris Stapleton's Career-Making Hit Returns To The Charts
Chris Stapleton's 'Tennessee Whiskey' reenters Billboard's Streaming Songs chart at No. 47 and the ... More Global 200 at No. 200, nearly a decade after its release. NEW YORK, NY - SEPTEMBER 27: Chris Stapleton is seen performing on the NBC "Today" Show Citi Concert Series at Rockefeller Plaza on September 27, 2024 in New York City. (Photo by NDZ/Star Max/GC Images) After spending years as a vocalist in several bands, Chris Stapleton decided to break out on his own and launch a solo career, which proved to be one of the greatest decisions in country music history. In the spring of 2015, he released Traveller, his debut solo album. The country world took notice, but it wasn't an immediate commercial smash, and none of the singles from the project became instant hits. Everything changed when Stapleton joined Justin Timberlake on stage at the Country Music Association Awards in November of that year. The two delivered a now-legendary rendition of the classic "Tennessee Whiskey," and Stapleton finally broke out, becoming the star he remains today. That track is still his most successful tune, and this week — nearly a decade after its release — it returns to multiple Billboard charts. "Tennessee Whiskey" Continues to Chart After Nearly a Decade Amazingly, "Tennessee Whiskey" ranks as one of the 50 most-streamed tunes in the United States this week. The cut reenters the all-genre Streaming Songs ranking at No. 47, earning its ninetieth stay on the tally. It has previously climbed as high as No. 16 throughout the years. The fact that a nearly 10-year-old cover is still competing with heavily promoted releases from today's superstars speaks to the magic of Stapleton's version. Chris Stapleton Returns to the Billboard Global 200 American consumption of "Tennessee Whiskey" was strong enough to push the song back onto the Billboard Global 200 as well. That ranking, which uses sales and streaming activity from all around the world to show what humanity is listening to each week, welcomes Stapleton's classic back at No. 200. The track has only ever reached as high as No. 175, but it's worth noting that the Global 200 was launched several years after "Tennessee Whiskey" was first released. Chris Stapleton Earns a Long-Running Streaming Hit "Tennessee Whiskey" also appears on the Country Streaming Songs chart, where it remains a top 20 success — 414 weeks into its tenure on the list. The track, which was never officially released as a single, remains a favorite among country music fans and may never fully disappear. Stapleton performs even better when looking at his albums. Three full-lengths by the Grammy winner appear on a trio of Billboard rankings apiece, and in nearly every instance, they're on the rise.

The World's Best Bourbon, According To America's Top Bartenders
Uncle Nearest Master Blend It's not surprising that America's top bartenders would pick Uncle Nearest as their top bourbon choice. Since its debut less than a decade ago, the brand has garnered a world-class reputation, winning numerous medals along the way. Below is a brief description and tasting notes on America's bartender's top pick for World's Best Bourbon! Uncle Nearest Master Blend Edition – Batch 032 is a premium Tennessee whiskey crafted by Nearest Green Distillery in Shelbyville, Tennessee. This limited-release expression is part of Uncle Nearest's Master Blend Edition series, which honors Nathan "Nearest" Green, the first known African American master distiller in the United States. Green taught Jack Daniel the art of distilling and developed the Lincoln County Process, a charcoal mellowing technique that defines Tennessee whisky. Tennessee whisky is considered a variant of bourbon, as it meets all the statutory requirements for being labeled a bourbon, but also undergoes a charcoal filtration process to be classified as a Tennessee whiskey. Victoria Eady Butler, a fifth-generation descendant of Nearest Green and the first known African American female master blender in the American whiskey industry, curated the Master Blend Edition series. Since joining Uncle Nearest in 2019, Butler has overseen the blending of select barrels to create exceptional small-batch whiskeys that pay tribute to her ancestor's legacy. Each expression in the series is bottled at cask strength, hence the ABV differs slightly between bottlings, and is available exclusively at the distillery. Batch 032 is the latest bottling in the series. The Uncle Nearest Whiskey Range The whisky is complex and aromatic on the nose, featuring ripe bananas, caramel, milk chocolate, espresso, strawberries, and a subtle aroma of cooked cereal. On the palate, the whiskey is robust and full-bodied, featuring notes of dark chocolate, cinnamon, caramel, red berries, coffee, and a hint of vanilla. The finish is medium in length and creamy, with lingering notes of cinnamon, caramel, and red berries. Uncle Nearest Master Blend Edition – Batch 032 is best enjoyed straight up or with a few drops of water to open up its complex flavors. Its robust profile also makes it a suitable base for classic whiskey cocktails, such as the Old Fashioned or Manhattan. Pair it with rich foods such as grilled meats, sausages, aged cheeses, or dark chocolate desserts. The International Bartender Spirits Awards is a renowned global competition that showcases the world's best spirits. Selection is based on quality, innovation, value, and craftsmanship. Judged by an expert panel of bartenders and industry professionals, the competition is highly regarded in the spirits industry and serves as a benchmark for quality. Uncle Nearest Master Blend Edition – Batch 032 is a testament to the rich heritage of bourbon, Tennessee whiskey and the legacy of Nearest Green. Under the deft hand of Master Blender Victoria Eady Butler, this expression showcases the complexity and craftsmanship that define Uncle Nearest's premium offerings. With its nuanced, layered flavors and its signature smooth finish, Batch 032 is a must-have whiskey and deserves a place in every home whisky collection.

Jack Daniel's fans are just realising 'Jack' didn't create iconic whisky
Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whiskey is one of the most popular alcoholic spirits in the world, often enjoyed mixed with soft drinks, but many fans are only just discovering the brand's odd history Jack Daniel's is a name anyone with a penchant for whisky will recognise and is arguably the most recognisable brand of Tennessee whisky in the world. Founded in Lynchburg, Tennessee in 1875, the spirit uses a distilling technique known as 'sour mash', using fermented ingredients to generate a slightly sweeter and more robust flavour. Despite more than 14 million nine-litre cases of the drink being sold around the world in 2023, it seems many fans of the whisky are unaware of the history of Jack Daniel's. In fact, despite the moniker being synonymous with the alcohol industry, Jack wasn't the founder's name at all. Taking to Reddit, one booze connoisseur confessed: "Today I learned 'Jack Daniel' founder of Jack Daniel's real name was Jasper Newton Daniel." Indeed, American distiller and entrepreneur, Jasper was born in on September 5, 1849 in Lynchburg, where he died aged 62 in 1911. "Sounds better than a Jasper and Coke," explained one Reddit user in response, referencing the soft drink the whisky is most commonly enjoyed alongside. Another pointed out that contrary to popular belief, by definition Jack Daniel's isn't a bourbon whiskey. "Interesting," they said. "A lot of people also don't know that Jack Daniels is not a bourbon, but a Tennessee whiskey!" Master of Malt clarifies this online, meanwhile, stating: "The two [bourbon and Tennessee] are often confused. The short answer is, no, Jack Daniel's is a Tennessee whiskey. The slightly longer answer is yes, because Tennessee whiskey is a subtype of bourbon that meets all of the legal requirements for the spirit, but has additional requirements specific to its production in Tennessee." Elsewhere on Reddit, in a separate post, a user claimed they'd just discovered Daniel didn't come up with the whisky's recipe. "Today I learned Nathan 'Nearest' Green, a slave, taught Jack Daniel how to brew whisky," they penned. "He became Daniel's Master Distiller, and is now known as 'The Godfather of Tennessee Whiskey'. His son George also became a Master Distiller and some of his descendants STILL work for Jack Daniel's Whiskey to this day." Green is regarded as the first African-American master distiller on record in the United States. Jack Daniel's website clarifies this, revealing that a young Daniel befriended Green whilst working on Reverend Dan Call's farm in the 1850s. "It was through this relationship that Jack learned about whiskey making, the Lincoln County Process of charcoal mellowing, and developed life-long friendships with the Green family," the website states. It continues: "Eventually when Reverend Call's congregation and wife gave the preacher an ultimatum: walk away from making whiskey or walk away from his work as a minister, he made the decision to sell his business to Jack. And so Jack hired his friend and mentor, Nathan Green, who was now free as his first head distiller – or what we'd call a master distiller today." Responding to the Reddit post, one user penned: "Thank you for sharing this! I love my bourbon and this is a super cool story to tell while I drink it." A second proposed: "So Nathan Green created whiskey but the brand is called Jack Daniel... the Green family should create their own line of high end whiskey called Nathan Green."

Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta.

Leiha Boyer This week's Pet of the Week winner is Rebel, a rescue dog who loves to play. In a heartwarming video, he was caught on camera playing with water—just one part of his new happy life. But things weren't always that way for Rebel, as his early life was marked by neglect. Abandoned at a trailer and confined to a kennel, he was forgotten. "There was no power or water so they kept a blanket over the kennel," owner Leiha Boyer told Newsweek. When she first met him, he had been under that blanket, "I guess since yesterday," she was told. Rebel's sad, soulful eyes silently pleaded, "please help me," and Boyer did just that. "From the moment I opened that kennel door, he has never had to be in one again," Boyer said. Now, Rebel is a cherished companion who is always with his owner and is "absolutely ROTTEN from how much I have spoiled in a good way," she said. Though he's a big dog who may appear intimidating, Boyer insists "he just wants to be loved to sing Chris Stapleton's 'Tennessee Whiskey,' and play in a water hose." Finalists Pictures of Casper the cream golden retriever who loves mud. Pictures of Casper the cream golden retriever who loves mud. David Wilmoth Our first finalist this week is an English cream golden retriever named Casper. The English cream is a variation of the standard and much-loved golden retriever, characterized by a coat that ranges in color from light cream to almost white. But Casper doesn't seem to have gotten the memo about his light coat and spends much of his time covered in mud. "I've never had a dog so in love with mud and dirt," joked owner David Wilmoth.

Phoebe Donald Next up this week is Bitty Boo Boo, a 10-year-old cat with a diva personality. "Since I first adopted her she has allowed me to dress her up," owner Phoebe Donald told Newsweek. Bitty loves lounging in the warmest spots, especially "directly in front of or on a heater vent." Though she's not fond of other cats, she greets humans with a friendly "bunt" on the leg. Surprisingly, she also enjoys car rides and even looks forward to vet visits. "She is one awesome cat," Donald said. Expressive Loki the cat hanging out on the bed.

Abandoned as a kitten on a second-floor balcony, Loki was rescued by friends and brought to Hokey, who had lost his cat a year and a half earlier. Since then, Loki has become "one of the most amazing cats I've owned," Hokey said, describing him as intelligent, talkative, and considerate, especially to his other cat. "You can easily tell what's on his mind because of his facial expressions," Hokey said. "Love this little guy."
