Come out and see Chris Henderson as he hosts Arts of Celebration 2026 on Monday, May 25, 2026, at the Conexus Arts Centre! Tickets are available at artsofcelebration.eventbrite.ca.
His blend of country sound and traditional roots has quickly helped him become one of Canada's busiest country recording artists. Since his debut album released in 2008, the former high school teacher has been touring the prairies and Canada relentlessly, has released 18 singles to National radio including "Don't Miss Your Kiss Goodbye," "I Sure Hope He Loves You," "My Regret" and "Kissing Sadie," and has been nominated for more than 40 Saskatchewan Country Music Awards over the course of his career. Henderson has appeared on stages such as the Craven Country Jamboree, Big Valley Jamboree, Boots & Hearts, Dauphin CountryFest, The Gateway Festival, the Telemiracle cast and many more.
