Popularly known as the "Buy Me A Boat Guy", Chris Janson continues to break out of this listener-given title and has evolved into one of the most influential modern-day country artists with songs like "Holdin' Her", and his most recent hit, "Drunk Girl". While these chart-topping hits have accumulated Janson fans all around the world, his live performances continue to impress audiences all around and gain him new fans each week. Janson continues to put on one hell of a live show so here are the nine unique things to expect when attending a Chris Janson concert. If you don't believe me, buy some tickets and check it our for yourself!
1. Thousands of flying eagles.
Although the Bald Eagle was once endangered, there is no shortage of flying eagles at a Chris Janson concert. Janson himself has been known to say, "when I'm in a good mood, that American Bald Eagle just flies right out of me," while inviting other audience members that are in a great mood to join him and fly their eagles (hands) high in the air. Based on the thousands of eagles invading his concerts, everyone seems to be in a great mood. I mean, how could they not be? They're at a Chris Janson concert!
2. Awesome dance moves.
Don't be fooled, Janson is not a one-trick pony. So don't be surprised if he pulls out some intense dance moves on top of his infectious singing.
3. Impactful music.
Although his hit songs "Buy Me A Boat" and "Fix A Drink" remain crowd favorites, Janson reveals his true character through songs like "Holdin' Her" and most recently, "Drunk Girl". Be prepared to fall more in love with the country star as he serenades audiences with these influential lyrics.
4. Some killer harmonica playing.
Don't be alarmed if the smoke alarms go off, that's just Janson's fire harmonica playing! As a fan who has attended numerous concerts, I can honestly say that the best part of every concert is undoubtedly the harmonica playing. If you ever find yourself front row at a Chris Janson concert, just kick back and enjoy.
5. Ride or die fans.
Like every artist, Janson has a large group of dedicated fans. When I say dedicated, I mean ride or die fans. If you ever attend a Janson concert, listen to his music before the show because there's no doubt you will be the only one that doesn't know every word to every song (even those deep dives like Better I Don't).
6. Covers of your favorite songs.
While we all love Janson's chart-topping songs, we love a good cover of a song too. There's no doubt Janson will add an old Johnny Cash song to the setlist or even songs that he has written for other artists like McGraw's "Truck Yeah" or LOCASH's "I Love This Life".
7. POSITIVITY.
"I truly believe if you put good things into the world, you will get good things out of it"
Janson typically devotes a large portion of his concerts by preaching positivity. Sending positive messages to the audience about putting in to life what you wish to get out of it. Aside from the messages of his music, Janson takes time each concert to personally preach positivity to the fans, always sending out good vibes to the audience.
8. An abundance of gratitude.
Along with remaining one of the most positive voices in country music today, Janson also remains one of the most gracious. Each concert he takes the time to thank everyone for coming and also thank his wife, his kids, and his "bonus kids" for helping him along his musical journey. This extreme gratitude may be abnormal in today's world but should be expected from a Chris Janson concert.
9. Energy! Energy! Energy!
I've been to many many concerts in my time but when I say Janson's were the most fun, I mean it. He gives 110% whether he is performing at a small venue or a large venue like the Grand Ole Opry (side note: Janson is the youngest artist inducted into the Grand Ole Opry). He knows how to pump up a crowd in the matter of seconds so be ready to get on your feet and start singing!
