Kate & Kacey Invited to Kenny Chesney's Tailgate Party

Kate & KaceyIf Kenny Chesney is going to play for more country fans than any other artist this summer, wouldn't it be a huge career boost to play your music for that same audience? Twin-sis country duo Kate & Kacey are about to find out. They will be hanging out and performing at the official tailgate parties (aptly named the Corona Sun City Tailgate Experience) before 11 of Chesney's shows starting in May. Technically the sisters, who came in second on last year's Can You Duet, won't be in the venue. But what's cool for a tailgating act is that they get to play for the fans when their open-mindedness is at an all-time high. And by "open-mindedness," I mean sobriety. Even Kate & Kacey themselves are thrilled to be doing this. "I have been listening to Kenny since I can remember!" says Kacey. "Our whole family is one huge Kenny Chesney fan! We go in packs of 30 to the shows ... so Kate and I have suddenly become rock stars!"

    Not that it matters, but I didn’t think Kate & Kacey came in 2nd on Can You Duet. Did they?

    I was under the impression that they would actually be opening for him, but hey, it’s still a huge thing that will really help their career out. These girls are my new fave and I hope they make it big!

    Shasta,

    The only reason they got a record deal is because they’re good to look at. They have no talent whatsoever.

    I don’t know if they can sing but they’re blonde and I hear that Kenny likes blondes.

    I agree with “always right”..
    There is hardly anymore talent that is being recorded now a days. You either have to have the “look” or have lots of money (taylor swift).
    There is a lot of talent that goes un noticed because they don’t have a look, but wow, they can pack in a club and have the crowd roaring. hmmm….
    Wise up people… don’t get pulled into this.. It is us, the fans that can control this. Stop buying into the crap the big labels feed us and demand great music, not pretty looks.
