Charles Esten

He was here last year and now he’s coming back to Paramount Bristol! Charles Esten is an American singer/songwriter and an actor best known for his roles as Deacon Claybourne on ABC and CMT’s NASHVILLE and Ward Cameron on the Netflix series OUTER BANKS. He was also a regular on WHOSE LINE IS IT ANYWAY and THE OFFICE. He has performed hundreds of live concerts, including multiple headline tours in the US, Germany, Amsterdam, and UK, including the Royal Albert Hall. In early 2020, his main stage performance as part of the popular Country2Country festival in Europe was cut short by the pandemic. After that, for over a year during lockdown, he entertained fans virtually with his weekly FacebookLive Quarantine Livestream that to-date has drawn almost 1.5 million total views. Gradually, he has been able to resume live performances, most notably on the Grand Ole Opry, where he has made almost 150 appearances to-date, and he has been excited to reconnect with more live audiences as he takes to the road. He was excited to recently open at The Ryman for Deanna Carter!
