Sandi Borchetta & Chris Janson Celebrate Graduates In Colorado
Sandi Spika Borchetta, Big Machine Label Group’s EVP of Creative, gave the keynote address for Delta High School’s graduation commencement ceremony in Delta, Colorado on Sunday (May 21). The Delta High School alumna returned to share wisdom and encouragement with the 126 graduates.
Alongside Borchetta, Delta High School welcomed country hitmaker Chris Janson, who performed for the crowd. His set featured some of his Platinum hits as well as new tracks “Goat” and “21 Forever” from his forthcoming album, The Outlaw Side of Me, available June 16 via BMLG Records. Janson welcomed the graduates on stage to sing fan-favorite “Buy Me a Boat,” and gifted them BassProShops hats to throw up in celebration of their milestone.
“Even though I’ve been a Nashville resident for a while, I hold this small community close to my heart,” shares Borchetta. “I’m honored to provide a celebration to remember for these amazing graduates! Hard work and persistence pay off, never give up! Small towns produce great minds that are capable of big things. If you’re going to do something, be the best…be the GOAT! Chris Janson’s song “Goat” inspires greatness! He was the perfect artist to partner with for this event.”
“The more time you spend with the next generation the better off the world will be,” shares Janson. “Congratulations to the Class of 2023, good vibes.”
