Kenny Chesney Concert Tickets in Charleston, SC

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.

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's success might not have been overnight, but he's proved that he's here to stay. His concerts are huge successes and his awards, top ten hits and scores of number one singles prove that he's one of country's modern superstars.
