Kenny Chesney Concert Tickets in Charleston, SC

By Jane Stamp

Kenny Chesney is a country music superstar, although his first release, titled "In My Wildest Dreams", was released to lackluster sales in 1994 on independent label Capricorn Records. However, singles from the album proved that there was a fan base for Kenny's music, and his subsequent albums have proven this.

Eleven of Kenny's first thirteen albums have been certified gold or higher. Although his debut on Capricorn was not the blockbuster that his later albums became, the singles from the album, "The Tin Man" and "Whatever It Takes" did touch the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks charts, extreme success for an independent release. Unfortunately, Capricorn Records did not continue to publish country music after that year.

Today, Kenny Chesney has released more than thirty top ten country hits, and that includes seventeen that made it all the way to the number one spot. With four consecutive AMC Entertainer of the Year Awards under his belt and six CMA awards, there's no doubt he's a country music powerhouse. In 2007, his summer tour was the top grossing country music tour of the year.

Born in Knoxville, Tennesse in 1968, Kenny Chesney's youth in the heart of country music was fueled by an early Christmas gift of a guitar, which he taught himself to play. After joining a bluegrass club while attending East Tennessee State University, he recorded a record on his own in 1989 which he used to sell at gigs to help pay for his dream. Kenny graduated from East Tennessee State with a degree in marketing and with a dream in his back pocket of a career singing country music.

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.

During his college years at East Tennessee State, he played bluegrass and recorded a record to sell at his gigs in 1989.

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.

The 2009 tour includes a show on September 12 in Charleston, South Carolina, at the North Charleston Coliseum. This tour is one of the mega tours of the country music summer season with tour dates all across the United States and Canada.

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. - 18424
