Kenny Chesney booked for the Greenbrier Classic

Posted: Updated:

The fourth annual Greenbrier Classic PGA tour event is still six months away, but preparations have already begun at America's Resort.

A release from the Greenbrier announced that country music superstar Kenny Chesney will top a star-studded musical lineup at The Greenbrier Classic Concert Series that runs from July 1-7 this year.

Kenny Chesney is an award winning entertainer who is known for his high-energy concerts that regularly sell out NFL stadiums. He has recorded 19 Number 1 hits that included "There Goes My Life," "Summertime," "Living in Fast Forward," "You & Tequila" and "When the Sun Goes Down."

"This country is an amazing place," said Chesney. "I can see it every night at my shows: all the heart, the passion and the fun I can see out in the crowd. And to be able to spend the 4th of July somewhere as historic as The Greenbrier, that's a pretty incredible place to celebrate our nation's birthday!"

"We couldn't be happier to have an American superstar like Kenny Chesney to top the bill at our Greenbrier Classic concert series," says Jim Justice, owner of The Greenbrier. "Kenny's at the top of his game--making him the perfect performer to match the world's best golfers who will be teeing off on The Old White TPC course that week!"

Chesney will appear at 8:30 p.m. on Thursday, July 4 at the State Fair of West Virginia amphitheater in Fairlea.
 
Admission to the star-studded Greenbrier Classic Concert Series is included in the price of weekly Greenbrier Classic tournament badges, which are priced from $199 per person.
