Country Star Chris Cagle Plays Jacksonville Tonight
Chris Cagle

As Jacksonville’s Tops in Texas Rodeo arena clears tonight, one of country’s hottest stars, Chris Cagle, will bring his summer tour to the Piney Woods.

“It’s a great show,” Cagle said during a phone interview. “I hate saying that because it is my show, but it is high energy and we haven’t had anyone ask for their money back.”

Its seems Cagle’s opinion isn’t far from the truth.

Numbers don’t lie, and with booming tickets sales for his tour across the country this summer, a substantial fan-base can testify to his electric performances.

“Every time we get a chance to perform on stage we are excited to do it,” he said, speaking for his band. “We are excited that is what we get to do for a living.”

Known for hits like “Miss Me Baby,” “What Kinda Gone” and “I Breathe In, I Breathe Out,” Cagle has seen the top of the Billboard country charts many time and doesn’t seem to be slowing down.

Over the last several months, in addition to his aggressive summer tour schedule, Chris has traveled overseas to visit US troops in Korea, visited Ft. Hood, appeared on national television (CNN Headline News, Fox News Channel) in Los Angeles and Nashville (CMT/GAC/RFD-TV) and taped a television series scheduled to air on the RFD channel in the fall.

He’s graced the pages of Country Weekly magazine

(voted one of “Country Music’s Hottest Bachelors” by Country Weekly readers), American Cowboy magazine and Country Music People magazine.

Cagle has recently released his fourth CD “My Life’s Been a Country Song.”

Which debuted at #1 on Billboard’s “Current Country” chart with 36,600 in first-week sales— making it the best-selling country album for the week.

Chris is set to release the second single from the CD, “No Love Songs.”

The tune is currently a staple in Chris’ live shows and sure to be filling the air in East Texas this evening.

Although Cagle said he has never performed in this part of the state, he is looking forward to brining his southern rock sound to East Texas.
