Chris Janson - October 3, 2025
Get ready for a night of high-octane country music this October 3 as country hitmaker Chris Janson takes to the stage at the University of Wyoming!
Presented by Buchanan Center Special Events, this premier concert during UW’s Homecoming Week kicks off with lawn games, live music, and more on Prexy’s Pasture, culminating in Janson’s performance at 7:30 p.m. in the Arts and Sciences Auditorium.
Known for his electrifying live shows, down-to-earth storytelling, and chart-topping hits like “Buy me A Boat,” “Fix A Drink,” and “Done,” Chris Janson is the real deal. An accomplished, award-winning artist, producer, and songwriter, Janson is a self-taught multi-instrumentalist who has mastered 10 instruments.
Janson burst onto the country music scene in 2015 with his triple platinum hit “Buy Me a Boat.” Since then, the Grand Ole Opry Member has amassed billions of global streams and Gold and Multi-Platinum awards, penning hits for country heavyweights like Tim McGraw (“Truck Yeah”) and Cody Johnson (“Build A Fire”) along the way while also solidifying his status as a solo artist.
Janson’s accolades include an ACM Award for Video of the Year for "Drunk Girl" and multiple "Ten Songs I Wish I'd Written" awards from the Nashville Songwriters Association International (NSAI). "All I Need Is You," the lead single from his 2023 album "The Outlaw Side of Me," earned Janson his fifth career number one hit.

Performing Arts Degrees
The Buchanan Center is the proud home to the University of Wyoming’s Music and Theatre & Dance programs. These programs are the cultural cornerstones at UW and bring in vibrant performances for UW students, staff, faculty and community to enjoy!
Theatre and Dance
UW’s Theatre and Dance department is known for its captivating performances, but it also provides students with a comprehensive education in the arts. Combining academic rigor and creative opportunity leads to a truly enriching education. Prospective students can choose from several undergraduate majors. Additionally, graduate students gain advanced training through practicum courses, senior projects and theses, preparing them for professional careers in the arts.
Music
The UW Department of Music welcomes students from diverse backgrounds and encourages self-discovery through performance, studio and classroom experiences. With innovative and challenging curriculums, our programs foster collaboration, skill development and artistic growth. Our department is small enough for personal attention, yet large enough to support musical growth to the highest level.
