The country star performs “South Dakota” and “It Takes a Woman” alongside his wife and collaborator Morgane on ACL
Chris Stapleton returns to Austin City Limits to help celebrate the show’s 50th anniversary. In a performance set to premiere Saturday, the country vocalist and songwriter takes the stage to perform a set of country gems including Higher standouts “South Dakota” and “It Takes a Woman,” the current Grammy-nominated song for Best Country Solo Performance.
For the occasion, Stapleton was accompanied by his wife and frequent collaborator Morgane Stapleton, and a six-piece band including Willie Nelson and Family band harmonica player Mickey Raphael. Earlier this week, Stapleton and Morgane’s charitable fund Outlaw State of Kind donated $1 million to support national and local organizations providing fire relief in Los Angeles.
“Outlaw State of Kind has donated $1 million to support national and local organizations providing wildfire relief in Los Angeles. Join us in supporting however you can,” a message read on the OSOK website, which included a list of orgs to help.
During the ACL episode, the singer roars though a series of chart hits from “Think I’m In Love With You” to “You Should Probably Leave” and 2020’s Hot Country Song’s topper “Starting Over.” Stapleton paid tribute to some of his influences: “We are in Texas so we should probably play a shuffle,” said the singer, “this one’s from one of my dear friends that I miss very much…” before diving into late Texan Guy Clark’s boogie “Worry B Gone.” Stapleton also took a moment to play Tom Petty’s “I Should Have Known It,” and closed the hour-long show with From A Room: Volume 2‘s “Millionaire.”
ACL is marking its run as the longest-running music series in television history, according to a press release, and viewers can go to the show’s YouTube channel for exclusive songs, behind-the-scenes videos and full-length interviews with artists.
Country music star Chris Stapleton has stepped up to help those affected by the devastating wildfires in Los Angeles by donating $1 million to relief efforts.
Stapleton, known for hits like “Tennessee Whiskey” and “Broken Halos,” made the generous donation to support those who have been displaced and affected by the fires. The wildfires have caused widespread destruction and forced many residents to evacuate their homes.

Stapleton’s contribution is a shining example of the power of generosity and compassion during times of crisis. His support will undoubtedly make a significant impact on the lives of those affected by the wildfires, and his donation serves as a reminder of the importance of helping others in their time of need.
Our thoughts are with all those affected by the wildfires in Los Angeles, and we commend Chris Stapleton for his incredible generosity and support. Let’s all come together to help those in need during this challenging time.
