Fans of Chris Stapleton may have heard his early work with The SteelDrivers, but have you heard his rock n' roll sounds?

Chris Stapleton will return to Bangor on another round of his All American Road Show 2023. The "Joy Of My Life" singer will perform at Maine Savings Amphitheater, Thursday, July 6. Marty Stuart & His Fabulous Superlatives and Allen Stone will open the show. Tickets go on-sale Friday, February 10.

In anticipation for another show with Stapleton in Bangor, let's take a look at his previous works.

Chris Stapleton is one of those artists who could sing the dictionary, and it would still be mind blowing. With four studio albums, The Stapleton has graced us with plenty of quality country. Extend his reach via his songwriting, and he's graced country music with mega hits, like "Crash And Burn" by Thomas Rhett, "Drink A Beer" by Luke Bryan, "Never Wanted Nothing More" by Kenny Chesney, and "Love's Gonna Make It Alright" by King George Strait. A personal favorite from this author is a song that was penned my Chris and recorded by Josh Turner titled, "Another Try." A demo cut of the song, with Stapleton on vocals, surfaced on YouTube a few years ago.

The list of Stapleton penned songs goes on, you can see more here from The Boot.

Chris Stapleton fronted a bluegrass band called The SteelDrivers for two albums. "Midnight Train To Memphis" was released as a part of his From A Room: Volume 2 record. But fans may remember the track from The SteelDrivers self-titled debut record. Stapleton would depart from the band after their second album Reckless.

After the SteelDrivers, Stapleton took his sound to a new level, fronting the group Jompson Brothers. They only put out one self-titled record, which features Stapleton on vocals and guitar. The group had a heavy southern rock sound. Tracks like "Motor Runnin'," "Ride My Rocket" and "Secret Weapon" show off his full, rock n' roll sound. The final track on the record "Barely Alive" displays where Stapleton's solo sound would take him.

Early Chris Stapleton Must Hear Records:

  • The SteelDrivers - The SteelDrivers (2008)
  • The SteelDrivers - Reckless (2010)
  • The Jompson Brothers - The Jompson Brothers (2010)

So Chris Stapleton fans, if you didn't already know, now you have another three records worth of music to enjoy featuring the big signature sound of The Stapleton.
