Chris Janson and Bret Michaels Talk Crossroads

Both stars talked about the previously-recorded set in a press release.

CMT Crossroads with my friend Chris Janson was a bucket list and nothing but a good time,” said Michaels. “We brought nothing but hits and an absolute game-changer of fun, big energy, and what may be the biggest, rowdiest, and most good-time lovin’ fans. This will be a music history-making event,” he added. “Get ready for your chance to see Chris & I on my Parti-Gras Mardi-Gras 2024 Tour.”

Janson added, “This Crossroads is pure rock and roll. What a blast to do this with a hero and friend. Bret Michaels. Two good buddies, having nothing but a good time, literally. Tune in and turn it up.”
