Janson pays unusual gig - high school graduation

That was because the Big Machine Label Group artist was with his BMGL's Executive Vice President of Creative, Sandi Spika Borchetta, who gave the keynote address for Delta High School's graduation commencement ceremony yesterday in Delta, Col. The Delta High School alumna returned to her alma mater. Borchetta asked him to come, and Janson, took the stage to perform a number of his PLATINUM-selling hits, as well as new tracks "GOAT" and "21 Forever," from his forthcoming album, "Outlaw Side of Me," due June 16.

Borchetta graduated from Delta High School. Janson played for the 126 graduates and guests from the middle of the football stadium and welcomed the graduates to join him on stage for fan favorite "Buy Me A Boat." The artist then gifted each graduate a complementary BassProShops hat to throw up in celebration of their milestone, courtesy of the country artist's conservational partnership with the organization. Since Janson partnered with the organization, sales of the same cap have raised more than 1 million dollars towards his conversation efforts.

"Even though I've been a Nashville resident for a while, I hold this small community close to my heart," said Borchetta. "I'm honored to provide a celebration to remember for these amazing graduates. Hard work and persistence pay off, never give up. Small towns produce great minds that are capable of big things. If you're going to do something, be the best...be the GOAT. Chris Janson song "GOAT" inspires greatness. He was the perfect artist to partner with for this event."

"The more time you spend with the next generation the better off the world will be," said Janson. "Congratulations to the class of 2023, good vibes."
