Additionally more than 170 of his songs have appeared on albums by country stars like Adele,

Tim McGraw, Brad Paisley, Dierks Bentley and Alan Jackson. In 2013, Stapleton released his

first solo single, "What Are You Listening To" which peaked at #46 on US Country Charts.

Florida Native and Nashville Recording Artist, Chad Montana will be opening for Chris Stapleton

at 5:30 pm on Saturday with the Chad Montana Band.

Santa Rosa County's own, Chloe Channell, will be performing at Navarre Fun Fest on Friday,

April 25 at 5:30 pm. America fell in love with Chloe Channell last fall on NBC's "America's Got

Talent" when she sang the Carrie Underwood cover song "All American Girl" and made it all the

way to quarterfinals at Radio City Music Hall in New York City. This past Christmas, she was on

stage with Billy Dean in the Kenny Rogers Production of "The Toy Shoppe" in Branson, Missouri..
