Friday

Kenny Chesney back in Washington

Chance McKinney and CrossWire have been goin', goin', goin' and this week is no exception.  Coming off a week of shows in Oregon, the CMCW boys head back to Washington for a run at some good weather and great shows.  Yes, we're fully aware that Kenny Chesney will be in town on Friday Night at the Tacoma Dome and yes, we know we have a show scheduled for that night as well.  Hmmm, Kenny Chesney or Chance McKinney n' CrossWire... Kenny Chesney or Chance McKinney n' CrossWire?  As you ponder which you'd choose why not make it easy and just do both?! Thursday Night (7/21):  Let us get you geared up just a little Northeast of the Tacoma Dome in Kent, WA at the "Thursdays at the Lake" Concert Series in Meridian Park.

Friday Night (7/22):  Kenny Chesney Night!  However, in case you don't have tickets OR Tacoma is just too far to drive we'll be at the beautiful Tulalip Casino Resort with south Puget Sound's own Robbie Walden opening at 8pm.  We'll be your Kenny Chesney Alternate... or, possibly your Kenny Chesney Chaser!  Come on by the Casino on your way back from the Kenny Chesney concert and let us finish off the night for you.  If you look at it that way, Kenny Chesney, Billy Currington and Uncle Kracker are opening up the night and Chance McKinney n' CrossWire are closin' it out!

The biggest benefit to the CMCW show at the Tulalip... is that the Tulalip is pickin' up the bill.  No cover charge.  This claim cannot also be made about the Kenny Chesney concert.  Last we saw, tickets we're goin' for $375 each in the front floor section on stubhub.  So, if you're lookin' for a good "after party" for Kenny or you're runnin' low on scratch... we've got you covered.

Saturday Night (7/23):  IF, somehow, you haven't manage your "country fix" after Thursday AND Friday then the HARD ROCK CAFE in downtown Seattle, WA welcomes Chance McKinney n' CrossWire back to the stage.  It ain't easy breakin' country into new venues... especially when the title of the place is "hard rock", but we're doin' our best.  Bring a group downtown and leave a little redneck mark on Seattle's premier "live" music venue!  The better the boys do, the more likely the HRC will have 'em back to the most centralized meeting spot for all the Puget Sound country fans.

July 16th, 2010 Chance and the boys of CrossWire are at it again.  Coming off a week in Washington with Dwight Yoakam, they'll head down to Utah for 2 shows and then finish off Father's Day Weekend with a show back in Washington.  "Yes, it's busy, but it's that time of year when we get to get OUT and see folks all over the West.  We're not bundled up inside doin' shows only on weekends in 21 and older joints.  To be honest, it's my favorite time of year and favorite types of shows," says Chance.

This Friday, the CMCW boys will hit the Uintah Valley playing Tabiona, UT at the Tabby Valley Centenial Park.  Opening act, Blue Saige, will take the stage at 6:30pm with Chance McKinney n' CrossWire to follow.  Tickets are $10 in advance and $15 at the gate.

Saturday night, the fellas will head down the road a stretch to South Jordan Utah to play CountryFest at the South Jordan City Park in South Jordan, UT.  Chance n' CrossWire will headline Saturday night at 8:30pm right up until the fireworks begin at 10pm.  Local group, Vocalocity will open the show and get the crowd fired up for the CMCW boys.

Sunday mornin' they fly to Marysville, WA for the Strawberry Festival.  Callie Cash will open the show and Chance will close it out from 2pm to 4pm on what we hope is a beautiful northwest day!

A "busy" week to say the least, but it's what they do... it's what they love.
