Biography

Chris Knight, a gifted songwriter with a warm Kentucky-accented voice, has garnered a loyal following for his poignant tales of everyday struggles. His music, a blend of no-frills country and stripped-down country-rock, has also been embraced by industry heavyweights like Blake Shelton, Randy Travis, and Montgomery Gentry who have covered his songs. Despite a brief major-label stint in 1998, Knight found his true creative freedom with indie labels, releasing raw and authentic albums such as 2006's Enough Rope and 2019's Almost Daylight, showcasing his evocative storytelling and rough-hewn musical style.

Born in rural Kentucky, Chris Knight's musical journey began when he received a guitar at the tender age of three. Inspired by artists like John Prine and Steve Earle, Knight honed his songwriting skills while working in agriculture and mining. After a brief major-label experience, Knight found success with independent labels, taking control of his music and forming his own label, Drifter's Church Productions. His discography, including standout albums like 2008's Heart of Stone and collaborations with esteemed musicians like Dan Baird and Ray Kennedy, showcases Knight's unwavering dedication to his craft and his ability to connect with audiences through authentic storytelling.
