Does anybody know who is currently playing Steel for Chris Stapleton on the road?
going to see him in Albuquerque NM this month.

Hi Ronald,
My guess is the one and only Paul Franklin.
Wish I could see one show as well.
Enjoy ! Smile

Regards,
Manfred

Last I heard, Paul is doing some shows with Chris Stapleton. Robby Turner was playing steel with him in 2016.

Thanks for the info guys
Last I knew Paul had the steel seat for him. But I can’t find anything recent to confirm he is still with him on the road. Would have loved to see Robby tear it up.
If Paul is there it will be outstanding, I’ve met him a few times in Nashville and got to sit about 15 feet away from his performance with the Time Jumpers. Awesome is all I can say about that.

I’ll bet Paul is flying in and out of Chris’s gigs - as befits his status as an A-list musician.

I have my fingers crossed that this gig fits into his schedule.
It will be disappointing if there isn't a Steel player in the band, as so much of his music has a significant amount of outstanding steel.

Tommy is an amazing picker for sure. !!!

Well it turned out that Paul Franklin was in the House for the Stapelton Show.
What a performance by the entire group!!

I guess he couldn't get a good steel player so he had to settle for Paul Franklin, Tommy White, or Robby Turner.

Three of the best players ever to touch the instrument!
