KRIS KRISTOFFERSON achieved remarkable success as a country singer-songwriter at the start of the 1970's. His songs "Me and Bobby McGee," "Help Me Make It Through the Night," "Sunday Morning Coming Down," and "For the Good Times," were all chart-topping hits, and helped redefine country music. In 1977 he won a Golden Globe for Best Actor in "A Star Is Born," and made appearances in over seventy films. KRISTOFFERSON has since released several high watermarks including the increasingly intimate A Moment of Forever (1995), The Austin Sessions (1999) and This Old Road (2006). He also released some of his finest works on the deeply personal Closer to the Bone (2009) and Feeling Mortal (2013). His latest project, The Cedar Creek Sessions, was recorded live at Austin's Cedar Creek Recording Studio and released in 2016 on his 80^th birthday and received a Grammy nomination for Best Americana Album.

A living legend, KRISTOFFERSON is a three-time Grammy winner, with 27 recorded albums. In addition to other accolades, KRISTOFFERSON is a member of the Country Music Hall of Fame, a winner of the prestigious Johnny Mercer Award from the Songwriter Hall of Fame and has received the Icon award from BMI in 2009. In 2014, he was honored with a GRAMMY Lifetime Achievement Award and the PEN Song Lyrics of Literary Excellence Award.
