<p>Kristofferson, a Country Music Hall of Fame member, is considered a true poet who helped modernize the genre with songs such as “Sunday Mornin’ Comin’ Down,” “Help Me Make It Through the Night,” “Me and&;n bsp;Bobby McGee” and “Lovin&#8217; Her Was Easier.” These are the songs of heartbreak and despair, of love and loss, of yearning and hope. These are the songs so honest that we adopted them as our own. They are the songs of a life led unlike any other: An All-American athlete, Golden Gloves boxer, Army Ranger, helicopter pilot, singer-songwriter, social activist, humanitarian and movie star.</p>
<p><strong>Keith Wortman</strong> is creator and executive producer of the show. Grammy Award-winner <strong>Don Was</strong> will serve as music director and will lead an all-star band that includes featured artist and Grammy Award-winner <strong>Buddy Miller</strong> backing the performers at this incomparable concert event taping. <em><b>The Life &; Songs of Kris Kristofferson</b></em> will be filmed and recorded for multi-platform distribution throughout traditional media (worldwide broadcast, music and digital).</p>

Kristofferson is a Country Music Hall of Famer who ranks among the most versatile of American talents. He’s been a Golde n Gloves boxer, a Rhodes scholar, a college football player, an acclaimed actor, a military officer, a helicopter pilot, a Grammy-winner, and an icon. It was the singing and the writing that called to him. He wound up penning classics including “Me and Bobby McGee,” “Help Me Make It Through the Night,” “Sunday Mornin’ Comin’ Down” and “For The Good Times,” as well as a slew of other empathetic, incisive gems. Kristofferson— along with contemporaries Tom T. Hall, Mickey Newbury, <a title="Willie Nelson" href="https://stubhub.prf.hn/click/camref:1100ljXyr/pubref:WPSWNelson/ar:CMNBAutoLink/destination:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.stubhub.com%2Fwillie-nelson-tickets%2F">Willie Nelson</a> and John Prine— enhanced the scope of country music songwriting, focusing on layering, nuance, empathy and emotional truth. Once established, he quickly became one of music’s most charismatic and intriguing figures. Kristofferson went on to a prolific acting career with roles in “A Star is Born,” “Alice Doesn=2��t Live Here Anymore,” “Blade” and many more films.</p>
