What to Expect at Chris Stapleton’s All-American Road Show

The All-American Road Show has been Chris Stapleton’s running tour since 2017, evolving into one of the most respected and beloved concert experiences in country music. Unlike typical arena shows with elaborate production, Stapleton’s performances focus on what matters most: the music. His tight band delivers incredible musicianship, while wife and collaborator Morgane Stapleton provides stunning harmonies throughout the evening.

Based on recent tour performances, fans at The Gorge can expect a career-spanning setlist of approximately 20+ songs, including:

• “White Horse” – The Grammy and CMA Award-winning rocker from Higher
• “Tennessee Whiskey” – His iconic, soul-drenched cover that became a cultural phenomenon
• “Broken Halos” – The Grammy-winning ballad offering comfort and reflection
• “Think I’m In Love With You” – A sensual hit from Higher
• “Fire Away” – A powerful ballad addressing vulnerability
• “Starting Over” – The title track from his CMA Album of the Year winner
• “Traveller” – The title track from his 7x platinum debut
• “Outlaw State of Mind” – A rebellious rock anthem
• “Midnight Train to Memphis” – A high-energy throwback to his SteelDrivers days

Shows typically begin with Grace Potter around 6:30-7:00 PM, with Chris Stapleton taking the stage around 8:45-9:00 PM as the sun begins to set over the Columbia River canyon. Plan for the full evening to extend past 11:00 PM—Stapleton is known for delivering every ounce of energy to his fans.

About Chris Stapleton

Christopher Alvin Stapleton was born April 15, 1978, in Lexington, Kentucky. Before his explosive solo career, he spent over a decade as one of Nashville’s most sought-after songwriters, penning hits for Luke Bryan (“Drink a Beer”), Kenny Chesney (“Never Wanted Nothing More”), Tim McGraw, and many others. He also served as frontman of the Grammy-nominated bluegrass band The SteelDrivers from 2008 to 2010.

His breakthrough moment came in November 2015 at the CMA Awards, where he delivered a legendary performance of “Tennessee Whiskey” alongside Justin Timberlake. That same night, he became the first artist ever to win Album of the Year, Male Vocalist of the Year, and New Artist of the Year at the CMAs in the same ceremony. His debut album Traveller subsequently re-entered the Billboard 200 at #1—a historic first.

About Grace Potter

Grace Evelyn Potter (born June 20, 1983) is an American singer-songwriter from Waitsfield, Vermont who has earned a reputation as one of rock music’s most electrifying live performers. Her powerful vocals and dynamic stage presence draw comparisons to Janis Joplin, Grace Slick, and Stevie Nicks, though her sound is entirely her own—blending rock, blues, soul, and country into something uniquely compelling.

Potter released her most recent album, Mother Road, in August 2023 to critical acclaim. The album captures the spirit of the American highway and showcases her remarkable range and emotional depth. Previously, she fronted Grace Potter and the Nocturnals, releasing four studio albums with the band before going solo in 2015.

Her career highlights include a Grammy nomination for “You and Tequila” (her duet with Kenny Chesney), opening for The Rolling Stones in 2015 (where she performed “Gimme Shelter” with Mick Jagger), and founding Grand Point North, her annual music festival in Burlington, Vermont.
