The Country Music Hall of Fame is set to debut a new exhibit later this month dedicated to Chris Stapleton. “Chris Stapleton: Since 1978,” presented by Ram Truck is set to open July 1st and run through May 14th, 2023.
The exhibit will follow the course of Chris’ career, from his success as a songwriter to superstardom.
“Chris Stapleton is a powerful and emotive singer, a prolific and poetic songwriter and a skilled and expressive guitar player," Kyle Young, chief executive officer for the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, shares "His rise as a successful artist may have seemed instantaneous to many, but he has been a force in country music for more than 20 years,” noting, “Throughout it all, he has maintained his own unique perspective by staying true to his authentic self and artistic vision, and he continues to open the door to country music for new fans across generations and genres."
The exhibit will feature clothing, guitars, awards and other personal artifacts from Stapleton, including his 1966 Gibson Trini Lopez Standard electric guitar, used during the recording of his song "Traveller,” his first guitar amplifier, the outfit he wore on the cover of “Traveller,” a LEGO model of Stapleton and his band on stage and more.
