Chris Janson To Kick Off Real Friends Tour September 20

Chris Janson is hitting the road on his Real Friends Tour this fall playing 22 dates across the country. The tour will take him coast to coast and include a sold-out show at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium on September 25, where he will be joined by label mate Michael Ray.

The tour comes fresh on the heels of the announcement of Janson’s new album Real Friends, which is due out October 18. Fans who pre-order the album will receive four instant tracks, including the recently released “Done.” Janson served as co-producer on the 13-track project, and he teams up with label mate Blake Shelton on the record’s title track.

Janson’s current single “Good Vibes” has rocketed into the Top 10 at country radio ahead of the album’s release, and has already reached nearly 37 million on-demand streams.
