Chris Knight

Chris Knight is one of Americana's most uncompromising voices — a Kentucky-bred songwriter whose raw, blue-collar narratives cut straight to the bone. Known for his gravel-throated delivery and unflinching honesty, Knight crafts songs that feel lived-in and real, drawing comparisons to Steve Earle and Townes Van Zandt while carving out a sound entirely his own. Seeing him live is an experience that stays with you long after the last chord fades. Knight is hitting the road in 2026 with a remarkable run of intimate venue performances. Catch him at The Ark in Ann Arbor on May 17, the legendary Songbirds Guitar & Pop Culture Museum in Chattanooga on June 25, the Astra Theatre on July 12, and finally at the storied Sellersville Theater 1894 in Pennsylvania on September 15. These are small-room shows where every lyric lands with full force — the kind of setting where his storytelling truly comes alive. Sellersville Theater 1894 is one of the most beloved listening rooms on the East Coast, offering an intimate, acoustically rich environment that perfectly suits Knight's introspective style. Whether you're a longtime fan or discovering his catalog for the first time, these shows promise an evening of authentic, emotionally resonant music performed by an artist who gives everything on stage.
