Rooted Recovery Stories Promises Behavioral Health

On this episode of Rooted Recovery Stories, Patrick sits down with singer-songwriter, Chris Housman. They discuss the difficulties of growing up gay in the heart of the conservative South, and how lonely of a feeling it is having no one to talk to. Chris opens up for the first time about the sexual assault he endured as a teenager and the internal battle that eventually led him to contact the family of the man who assaulted him.

While the country artist is celebrating the triumphant release of his debut album 'Blueneck' and the widespread attention he’s getting for the steamy music video for his current single “Guilty as Sin,” he also finds himself mourning the loss of a past love.

About Chris Housman:

If Harlan Howard was right when he said “country music is three chords and the truth”, then Chris Housman is one of the best qualified artists working in Country today. Beyond the classic twang, rich six string backed sound, and disarming Kansas baritone, his offerings in the genre gently, yet unapologetically, speak his truth at every turn.
As an openly gay country artist, he thoughtfully marries two worlds that, to many, are at odds with one another. Whether it’s the fable-like “Drag Queen” which celebrates a small town teacher of the year who goes from Michael to Michelle after hours, or the viral sensation “Blueneck”, a welcoming homespun manifesto that proudly declares “y’all means all”, Housman’s music offers a musical bridge in a divided time.
Called “irresistible” by Rolling Stone, with Good Morning America praising him for “making waves”, and Billboard staunchly affirming him as a saving grace for “outcasts in the genre,” Housman’s message, embodied in his upcoming debut album “Blueneck”, is a simple one: Country is for everyone. Given his 4.5 million streams and 230,000 online followers, it's clearly a message that the world wants to hear.
