Kenny Chesney
Kenny Chesney: Singer/Songwriter. Reigning king of Academy of Country Music Entertainer of the Year.
Kenny’s story is a gripping one. A small kid growing up in eastern Tennessee, Kenny Chesney had a love—and a raw, natural talent--for music. He didn’t get his first guitar until his freshman year in college, and with it and nothing but a dream, played his way through for tips. It wasn’t easy. He was considered the underdog; ‘one of those guys who had no chance of making it.’ But Chesney believed in himself. He wouldn’t give up. He continued to look forward, to see what else he could do and find the right people who would dream along with him.
Kenny Chesney believes that success for him came because of his willingness to keep dreaming no matter what any of the ‘nay-sayers’ would tell him. His lucky break came with a publishing deal at Acuff-Rose, an old school Nashville publishing company that once signed Hank Williams—a break many get, few ever harvest.
Kenny is a likeable, ‘one-of-us’ type guys. His real gift as a singer, is considered to be his ability to be vulnerable and honest with his audience. He’s not afraid to show people who he really is. For that, his loyal fans love and admire him.
His tenacity has paid off. Three summers of touring to over a million fans, sales of over 25 million albums, CMT awards of Male Video of the Year, and ACM voted him Entertainer of the Year. Impressive, to say the least.
Kenny Chesney proves to us that the American dream is still alive. The underdog does have a chance. Dreams really do come true. All you have to do is look at the life of Kenny Chesney.
