Taking the stage with ALAN JACKSON...

 

Can you say JaneDear Girls, David Nail, Diamond Rio, Chance McKinney n' CrossWire, Sunny Sweeney, Steve Azar, Phil Vassar, Alan Jackson, The Harters, Amy Clawson, Little Big Town and Blake Shelton all in the same sentence? Of course you can, if you can "read" it you can probably "say" it... stupid question on my part.

Welcome to the Willamette Country Music Festival in Brownsville, OR on August 19th - 21st. Thirteen of Country Music's hottest acts take the stage for the Premier Country Music Festival in the Pacific Northwest. VIP tickets sold out over two months ago. General Admission has exceded the original capacity. Hotel rooms are gone. Parking is spoken for. Campgrounds are max'd out. And now, it's game time!

If you think touring with Mark Chestnutt through Montana... and Dierks Bentley through Oregon and Washington was fun... wait until you get a load of this! (Although, I will say that the DB shows we're particularly off-the-hook... but I digress.)

I would just like to thank all of you who've made this possible. Since the CMT Award in December of 2009, I've had the opportunity to share the stage with...

Dwight Yoakam Jamie O'Neal Grand Funk RailRoad Blake Shelton Pat Green Luke Bryan Creedence Clearwater .38 Special Lynyrd Skynyrd John Rich Sebastian Bach Mark Chestnutt Dierks Bentley Edens Edge Sunny Sweeney David Nail Gloriana Jane Dear Girls Diamond Rio Steve Azar Phil Vassar and Mr. Alan Jackson.

It's been a special treat for me and the boys in the band. Thank you for your continued support and stay tuned for some additional news coming down the pipe after we complete the shows this month!

Sincerely,

Chance McKinney

CMCW to Headline at The Auburn Avenue Theater

CMT Award Winner, Chance McKinney was recently dubbed CMT's #1 "Unsigned" Country Artist in the Nation. A native Montanan who migrated to the West Coast has been wowing audiences in the Pacific Northwest for the past 5 years. Having opened for acts such as Kenny Chesney, Rascal Flatts, George Strait, Taylor Swift, Martina McBride and many more. He's been hard at work making "Industrialized Country" a household phrase. Teamed up with longtime drummer Brian Bujacich and newly partnered with guitar "super duo", Paul Schille and Rey Neyens, they form Chance McKinney n' CrossWire.

2010 marked a new era for Chance and the boys. They've recently recorded a World Famous CMT Studio 330 Session and signed on for tour dates with Dwight Yoakam, Joe Nichols, Blake Shelton, Creedence Clearwater, .38 Special, Lynyrd Skynyrd and most recently... Jamie O'Neal and Grand Funk Railroad. Chance McKinney n' CrossWire are riding the wave of momentum and bringing their special blend of country/rock/metal/soul to your neck of the woods. Welcome to Chance McKinney n' CrossWire's Industrialized Country.

2011 already promises to be a great year for CMCW.  Early shows in January with John Rich (Big n' Rich) and Sebastian Bach (Skid Row), along with Dwight Yoakam, Dierks Bentley, Sunny Sweeney, Phil Vassar, Steve Azar and country music legend Alan Jackson throughout the summer makes this another exciting year for the guys.  Let's do our best to welcome them to the southern tip of Seattle in the city of Auburn on May 14th!

TICKETS: $17 or $15 student/senior. Call Auburn Parks, Arts & Recreation at 253-931-3043, Monday-Friday 8 AM-5 PM, or online at Brown Paper Tickets.

A week in Nashville...

After spending 19 of the past 27 weeks out on the road, it's time to make a trip to the homeland.  I can't say I'm not lookin' forward to a couple months of "downtime" before we get geared up for the Summer Run of shows.  Already on the books are John Rich, Sebastian Bach, Dwight Yoakam, Dierks Bentley, Sunny Sweeney, Steve Azar, Phil Vassar and Alan Jackson.

I'm totally lookin' forward to this week in Nashville.  Not only will I get an opportunity to sit down with some good friends (my booking agent BS, my attorney WH and my co-writer KL), but I'll also get to meet with some folks who could take this to another level AND write at a clinic with some of the greatest writers of all time (Rivers Rutherford and Bob DiPiero).

This is just ONE of the many cool aspects of this job.  It's ONE that off-sets so many of the negatives we hear about in the media.  The friendships that exist "behind the scenes" and the creation of new music keep me going.  The idea of bringin' something new to the table (whether it be songs, bookings, appearances, whatever) is always an exciting time especially when it comes to making a living at something you love.

Back on the road in April, but for now... it's "creativity" time and "family" time.  See you soon, CM
