Time to get excited about the upcoming Miranda Lambert concert! In preparation for the big day, we’re taking a look at both of Miranda’s supporting acts. Let’s start with the lovable country boy, Chris Young.

Starting in small clubs and bars in Nashville, TN, Chris Young understands what it takes to push for and conquer dreams. That’s why after 3 albums, 4 consecutive #1 hits on the country charts, and a Grammy nomination, Young can really appreciate the success and the blessing his music has been.

Young’s music inspires good times with friends and family. His latest album, “Neon,” has captivated his audience with catchy, radio-friendly lyrics paired with that toe-tapping country sound.

2011 was a great year for Young. Having recently performed for the American Country Awards this December, and then taking home the prize for both Breakthrough Artist of the Year and Single of Year for “Voices”, Chris is an undeniable rising star and sure to be a great opening act for Miranda Lambert.

You can check out Chris Young on the Ellen Degeneres Show this Tuesday, Jan. 17^th or find more about him and his music at http://www.chrisyoungcountry.com/
