There's little doubt that Kenny Chesney has made his mark as a country music superstar. After his debut album, "In My Wildest Dreams", was released by the independent Capricorn Records in 1994, Kenny has gone on to release thirteen more smash albums.
The success of Kenny's music is remarkable. Of the first thirteen albums he released, eleven were certified gold or higher by the RIAA. His debut may not have sold record numbers on Capricorn Records, but the independent label's release spurred two singles, "The Tin Man" and "Whatever It Takes" that garnered enough success to prove that Kenny had star potential. Capricorn Records decided to discontinue publishing country music later that year, but Kenny was destined for bigger things.
Kenny Chesney has released more than thirty top ten country hits since his first release, including a whopping seventeen that peaked at number one. He has won four consecutive Entertainer of the Year American Country Music awards and six awards from the Country Music Association.
During the 2007 summer touring season, his tour was the highest grossing country concert series of the year.
Kenny Chesney was born in Knoxville, Tennessee in 1968, a region near the Great Smoky Mountains and nestled deep in the heart of country music. He taught himself to play guitar and has had a lifelong love of music, playing bluegrass in college at nearby East Tennessee State University.
Kenny Chesney worked to land a record deal in Nashville and eventually signed with BMI and Opryland Music Group in 1992.Despite his youth, he'd already worked in front of audiences and been immersed in music enough that record producers saw his potential.
After venturing to Nashville when he graduated from college, he worked to get in front of music producers and publishers. In 1992, he achieved his first real success with a deal with Opryland Music Group and BMI. Despite his youth, Kenny's experience playing for live audiences no doubt showed his potential.
Kenny graduated from ETSU with a degree in marketing and had a few years of playing in front of audiences, so he was already developing into the star country music fans have come to know.
This year's tour includes a stop on September 12 in Charleston, South Carolina at the the North Charleston Coliseum. Kenny's tour's include big dates across the United States and Canada, but the South Carolina show is expected to be one of the best, with country music fans coming not far from Kenny's home. This year's tour is named the Sun City Carnival Tour.
Despite the slow start to his career, he's made up for it with incredible success during the first two decades of releasing hit country music. He is truly one of country's modern music superstars, with two greatest hits albums already available.
