Chris Housman is a multi-faceted musician and boundary-breaking singer-songwriter who lives by the mantra "y'all means all." Praised by The Tennessean as "one of Nashville's most authentically soulful singer-songwriters" and hailed by Billboard for giving a voice to"outcasts in the genre," he's helping lead a shift toward greater inclusivity and truth in country music. Raised on a farm outside tiny Hanston, Kansas, Housman began performing at seven in his family band, teaching himself fiddle before expanding into guitar, piano, upright bass, saxophone, drums, banjo, and more. His natural versatility and curiosity, including a 5th place finish at the International Whistling Competition, fuel his distinctive sound. His critically acclaimed debut album Blueneck introduced him as, in the words of USA Today, "the 'gayme-changer' the country music field needed." The title track debuted at #1 on the iTunes Country chart, #4 all-genre, and #16 on the Billboard Digital Sales chart, with the project now surpassing 7 million streams. Rolling Stone called the song "a defiant anthem of staying true to your heart," underscoring the impact of his most authentic storytelling. Housman's music reflects his lived experience as a proud gay man raised in rural America. Honest, witty, and undeniably country, his work creates space for fans who have long felt unseen. With over 300k followers and a rapidly growing footprint, he is cementing his place as a resonant new voice bringing representation, heart, and fresh perspective to the genre.
