Chris Knight at Showboat Saloon

Event Overview

One Of The Greatest Songwriters Still Doing It Today! No One Is More Genuine Than Chris Knight. You Just Can’t Find A Better Storyteller. 

That brutally honest, no-frills philosophy fits his Americana-fueled, backwoods-grown merger of folk, country, and rock. It's been at the backbone of nine studio albums, beginning with 1998's acclaimed self-titled debut and traveling through scorchers such as the one-two punch of 2001's A Pretty Good Guy and 2003's The Jealous Kind, two demo-styled discs (2007's The Trailer Tapes and 2009's Trailer I, and the recent, electric guitar-fortified opus, 2019's Almost Daylight.

Because Knight's music has always sat outside of the mainstream, onstage is where he makes his fans one show at a time. It is exactly where his searing tales of rural characters, fringe survivors, and tumultuous small-town existence find a captivated audience. A few edgy, raw gems that immediately come to mind are "It Ain't Easy Being Me," 'Carla Came Home," "I'm William Callahan," and "Everybody's Lonely Now," the latter two from Almost Daylight.
