Lehoux And Band Win "Next Big Star Contest" To Open Boston Stop Of Kenny Chesney Tour
NASHVILLE, TN - On Saturday night, July 26, Jimmy Lehoux joined a star-studded line up on the stage of the Gillette Stadium performing for thousands as the opening act for the Foxborough, MA stop of Kenny Chesney's wildly successful Poets & Pirates Tour. Jimmy was chosen from hundreds of entries from all over New England, each competing for the coveted spot.
On Friday night, July 25th, Jimmy and his band took the stage at the packed Hard Rock Café in Boston to face off with three other finalists, performing for a panel of music industry professionals. Their performance clinched the spot and the next day was a whirlwind. "It was amazing to be on that stage with Sammy Hagar, LeAnn Rimes, Keith Urban and, of course Kenny Chesney", says Lehoux of the experience. "The audience response was incredible and the whole organization treated us like superstars. I soaked in every minute. It was awesome!"
As one of the local market winners, Jimmy is now in the running for a grand prize package that includes three more opening slots on the Poets & Pirates Tour and a live audition for the executives of SONY/BMG Records at their Nashville office.
