CHILLIWACK – The Chilliwack & District Agricultural Society announced Wednesday that country music performer Nate Haller will headline the Friday night concert at the 154th Chilliwack Fair this summer.

According to a news release, Nate Haller has firmly cemented himself as one of Canadian country’s premier talents since his debut as a solo artist, elevating his unique vocals and energetic live show to some of the biggest stages across the nation.

After over a decade of experience in the music business as a session player for some of Canada’s top artists, Haller stepped onto the centre stage with his first single “Lighting In A Bottle”, which earned him his first Top 10 in Canadian radio.

Haller has maintained this momentum with his latest single “Backfire” featuring Tenille Townes, rewarding him with his first Top #3. To date, Haller has amassed over 33 million global streams and drawn attention from the Canadian country music industry, thanks to multiple CCMA Award nominations (2023 Breakthrough Artist, 2022 Rising Star), winning multiple CMA Ontario Awards (2023 Album of the Year for “Party In The Back”, 2022 Rising Star), and being selected as one of four artists to participate in the 2023/2024 Allan Slaight JUNOs Master Class.
