Chesney's beginnings in music are traced to Christmas in 1986 when he was gifted his first guitar and began teaching himself to play. Chesney's musical career took a slight side step as he decided to pursue a degree in advertising at East Tennessee State University in Johnson City, where he was a member of the ETSU Bluegrass Program and the Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity. In 1989, Chesney recorded his first self-released demo album at the Classic Recording Studio in Bristol, Virginia. He managed to sell 1,000 copies while performing on the local scene in Johnson City and used the money from album sales to help buy a new guitar. After graduation, he headed to Nashville and performed at several local clubs. He became the resident performer at The Turf, a honky tonk bar in the city's historic district.
Chesney's first album, In My Wildest Dreams, was released on the independent Capricorn Records label in April 1994 which was a moderate to mediocre release in the US Country charts, however later that year Capricorn Records closed their country department and moved to Atlanta so Chesney's career had a slight false start. His first major chart success came in the form of 'Me And You' which broke the US country top 10 and spawned three hit singles. This was merely the beginning for Kenny, his following releases all managed to sell extremely well, 14 of his 15 releases are certified gold or higher to date. From 1998, when 'She's Got It All' topped the US country charts, Kenny went on to score another sixteen US Country number ones and made substantial chart positioning on the Billboard charts too, with the 2009 single 'Out Last Night' breaking the top twenty.
Chesney's most recent charity work includes working with the V Foundation, founded by North Carolina State Wolfpack basketball coach Jim Valvano to help to find a cure for cancer. He is one of the most consistently successful country performers in the States and has sold over thirty million albums to date.
Church grew up in the Granite Falls area of North Carolina and showed a keen interest in music as early as the age of four. One of Church’s first “paying gigs” was at this age. He remembers singing the song “Elvira” at a restaurant to a group of surrounding patrons who compensated his performance with loose change. It was not until Church was 13 that he began writing his own songs. At this time he wrote most of his music on a cheap electric guitar, which consistently fell out of tune. Church plugged along with his songwriting and guitar practicing and during his senior year of high school landed frequent gigs at local bars playing Jimmy Buffet covers and a few originals. Church formed the band “The Mountain Boys” with his brother and college roommate, but once he moved to Nashville, US he focused his attention on his solo career.
Like many other burgeoning country musicians, Church started his career in Nashville, US writing material for other artists. He helped write Terri Clarks single “The World Needs a Drink” and the Dean Miller song “Whiskey Wings”. Church attempted to break out on his own, but was met with hesitation amongst several producers and record labels. However when Church performed “Lightning” a song inspired by the movie “Green Mile”, Capitol Nashville signed him on their label. Church’s debut album was an instant success producing three single tracks that made it into the Country Charts top 30. Following this release Church scored opening spots on tours with Brad Paisley and Rascal Flats.
Church’s commercial success seemed to progressively grow with each album release. His second album “Carolina” contained 2 top 10 hits being “Love Your Love the Most” and “Hell on the Heart”. Church’s next album sent him into the stratosphere of stardom. His 2011 LP “Chief” entered number 1 on the top Country Albums as well as the Billboard 200. The album was also up for a Grammy in 2012.
Other than Church’s blatant Country influences such as superstars Tim McGraw and Kenny Chesney and Outlaw influences like Hank Williams Jr. and Waylon Jennings, he is also a confessed fan of heavy metal bands such as Metallica and AC/DC. In the early stages of Church’s career he even received inspiration from his parents diverse taste in music ranging from Bluegrass to Motown.
The Atlantic Ocean is a huge, huge expanse, but there’s many genres that seem to go down equally well on either side of it; from The Beatles to Nicki Minaj, artists have spent decades and decades now proving that geography can often count for little where taste in music is concerned. One style that never seems to have quite managed that same balance, though, is country, and Kenny Chesney is a fine example of that; in his homeland, he’s a megastar, with a slew of prestigious awards to his name and in excess of thirty million records sold. Over on this side of the pond, though, he’s nothing more than a cult figure. Not that it’s slowed him down, though; in September, he’ll release The Big Revival, his seventeenth record, and continue to tour North America as prodigiously as he has for the past two decades now in support of it. The nearest thing country really has to a modern-day pop star, U.S. audiences can expect to see Chesney and his band run through a set that spans his entire career, with the man himself interacting with the crowd throughout with his trademark cowboy hat firmly in place. As for UK dates, though, it might be best for fans not to hold their breath; Chesney, like so many of his country peers, seldom tours Britain, and frankly doesn’t need to; he’s a bona fide stadium filler back home.

I absolutely adore Eric Church. I have the biggest crush on him ever. He has an amazing voice and he seems like a totally down to Earth kind of guy.
His music is awesome. His song "Springsteen" reminds me of being young and meeting my now husband. I love that he interacts with the crowd and seems to have just as good of a time as we do.
The venue was kind of hot, but with so many people it's not surprising. Everybody was singing along with him and dancing where the was room to do so. He makes it feel like you are at a family or friends house having a party, only instead of a radio or DJ you've got him.
His vocals are astounding and his band is also great. The speakers were not the best at the venue, but that's not his fault and it wasn't so bad that it took away for his performance. He has so much energy when he is performing, it pumps everybody in the crowd up to. He is the kind of artist that makes it plainly obvious that he loves what he does. Singing and making music is more than just a job for him. I cannot wait to see him again.
Catch this band on their way up, they are about to catch fire! Seeing Old Dominion on the small stage, just by themselves at the MN State Fair was a huge treat! The Leinie bandstand was packed for both shows. This was our 3rd Old Dominion show in MN this year, so it was nice to have this personal glimpse of the band. A new album by the band is pending, and so looking forward to their new music, which they played several during their concerts at the State Fair. Also they have written for so many other artists and they covered their own songs, which is fun to see. I am still waiting to hear them cover the song they wrote with Sam Hunt "Make You Miss Me". Old Dominion writes their own lyrics and music, and they are a full band with such great depth of talent, between Matthew, Trevor and Brad who are the writers, singers and guitarists, Brad leading the guitar talent, and Trevor also on the keyboard. Matthew, the lead has such a rich voice with a full range of emotion packed into it. Whit on the drums and Geoff on bass complete the band. The humor the band shows in many of their songs comes through when on stage. Go see them!
