Country music star Chris Ruediger to perform at Stonewall Resort Oct. 5

Chris Ruediger, one of Nashville’s hottest rising acts with nearly four million streams on Spotify, 5.7 million likes on TikTok and a single that topped the iTunes Country Chart, will perform at Stonewall Resort on Saturday, Oct. 5.

“We’re thrilled to bring Chris Ruediger back to Stonewall Resort for a unique and intimate performance,” said André D’Amour, general manager at Stonewall Resort. “I’d encourage those interested to get their tickets quickly as the show, also featuring Jake Puliti as the opener, is likely to sell out.”

D’Amour noted that Ruediger visited the resort in 2023 and received rave reviews for his music and performance. He draws inspiration from musicians like Sam Hunt, Randy Travis, John Mayer and Ed Sheeran. His single, “Good Till It Wasn’t,” landed at No. 12 on the all-genre iTunes chart, above artists like Billie Eilish, Chris Stapleton, Luke Combs and Morgan Wallen. He has also been named as an “emerging artist making his mark” by People Magazine.

Opening for Ruediger will be Jake Puliti, a professional singer and songwriter from central Pennsylvania now based in Nashville, TN. Puliti, seen on American Idol Top-40, The 615 House and TikTok, has been refining his sound to find new, creative ways to make music.

The concert will start at 8 p.m. and will be held outside on Lightburn’s Restaurant patio overlooking the lake. For those arriving early, there will be an artist meet and greet in the lodge lobby prior to the show. A Nashville Nights After-Party will be held in TJ Muskies from 10 p.m. to close for fun and photos.

Individual tickets and overnight packages, which include a lodge room and a ticket to the performance, are available. For additional information or to make reservations, contact the resort at (304) 269-7400 or visit the website at www.StonewallResort.com.
