This most recent win adds to the lengthy list of the now Nashville-based artist’s achievements including his previous CCMA win for Interactive Artist of the Year and the 2019 Juno Award (equivalent to a GRAMMY) for Country Album of the Year for his album, We Were That Song among many others (see here).
In the midst of his big win, Kissel has made his official stateside debut with the release of his new single, “Drink About Me” (listen here) along with the music video for the track which features Bachelor Nation fan favorites Kaitlyn Bristowe and Jason Tartick (view here).
