If you're a big enough Chris Stapleton fan, you might not mind the drive to Columbus to see him perform with buzzy newcomer Maren Morris.

The shaggy-haired country-soul man – who nabbed Male Vocalist of the Year at the CMA Awards last week while Morris scooped up the New Artist nod – will play the Columbus Civic Center at 7 p.m. April 6.

Tickets, priced at $58, are on sale to the general public at 10 a.m. Nov. 18 via www.livenation.com. A Morris pre-sale begins at 10 a.m. Nov. 16 and a Live Nation pre-sale launches at 10 a.m. Nov. 17.

Stapleton last played Atlanta in May with a post-Braves game performance at Turner Field.
