Chris Nelson

Hailing from the rugged foothills of North Georgia, Chris Nelson is a down-to-earth country boy with a heart as genuine as his music. Raised in a tight-knit family of country music lovers, Chris soaked up the sounds of the legendary Charlie Pride, Willie Nelson, and Johnny Cash from an early age. Those inspirations gave Chris a love of country music that never died, despite his life taking an unexpected turn.
True to Chris’ character, he decided to give up everything and serve his country in the Army at the young age of seventeen. A career soldier, Chris traveled the world but also witnessed the harsh realities of fighting for his country. These experiences have turned Chris into the person he is today, full of pride in America and its veterans that runs as deep as the hills in Appalachia.
For over two decades, Chris has been quietly penning tunes that reflect the heart and soul of country living. He's the real deal, spinning tales of love, heartbreak, and the everyday moments that hit close to home. His music, born from authentic experiences, became a source of comfort during tough times and a soundtrack for the time of celebrations.
In August 2024, after losing his father, Chris found the courage to finally share his emotions through music with the world for the first time. The result was a touching tribute that struck a chord not only with him but with an audience who connected with his honest and heartfelt storytelling. Chris' country music journey is only beginning.
