Young is ready to give the listeners an insider’s look into his career and the music that’s made him a country music star.
From September 2-6, as host, Young will be sharing stories and his inspiration for some of his songs, his guilty pleasure TV show, what TikTok trends need to stop, and, of course, serving up country hits as smooth as whiskey.
The 411 on Chris Young
For new listeners to country music, or have been living under a rock, Chris Young is one of the genre’s most exciting artists. After winning the reality singing competition Nashville Star in 2006, Young’s star (pardon the pun) isn’t dimming anytime soon. With numerous chart-topping hits under his belt, a Grand Ole Opry membership, and an album released earlier this year, Young has cemented his status as a country music superstar.
What to Expect This Week
If you’ve never listened to Backstage Country before, here’s the deal: each week, a country music star will serve as the show’s host, spilling all the juicy details about their hit songs, stories from the road, behind-the-scenes moments from creating their latest album, and more.
For this week, Young will be sharing all that and more. Get to know Chris Young beyond his hit songs “Young Love & Saturday Nights” and “Looking for You.” Listen to him all week and learn what his dream “cheat meal” is, what genre he would probably do aside from country, why he loves animals so much, and who among the other country music artists he will invite for a kickoff party.
“Young Love & Saturday Nights” and “What She Sees in Me”
One of the highlights of Young’s hosting stint will be talking about two of his standout songs, “Young Love & Saturday Nights,” as well as “What She Sees in Me,” poised to become a popular choice for wedding songs and first dances. He will also talk about the songs’ music videos and which songs on the record are his favorites.
Chris Young’s journey from a Nashville hopeful to a country music superstar is nothing short of inspiring. Catch him hosting all week long on Backstage Country.
