owboys may run the field in Dallas, but not in College Station — until Saturday’s
icert at Kyle Field with Mark Chesnutt, Trace Adkins and David Lee Murphy
irst-ever Kyle Field concert
icking it ‘country style’
By Rhonda Reinhart
Staff writer
lis Saturday, Kyle Field trades in its cleats and
football helmets for boots and cowboy hats. As
/■part of the Mark Dennard / John David Crow
Blebrity Golf Classic, country artists Mark Chesnutt,
*ace Adkins and David Lee Murphy are scheduled to
Kim at the first concert ever to be held at Kyle Field.
fEvrnt coordinator Mary Jo Prince, said the event
|ani/t'rs wanted to present entertain-
|ent for a variety of people.
1 “W wanted to select a lineup that
ould provide the broadest appeal to
ose in the Brazos Valley,” she said.
And although all of the scheduled
erfcjrmers are from the country
usit world, their styles couldn’t be
lore different.
IWhile Chesnutt brings a tradi-
onal sound to the show, Prince
lidiUlkins and Murphy have a dif-
|t approach.
pee Adkins is the hottest thing since
r she said. “He’s one of the hottest coun
jars around. And Murphy adds the party crowd
sphere to the concert.”
Listen to the Music
jiesnutt gained national recognition in 1990 with
jebut album, Too Cold At Home. The title track
to the top of the charts, and the hard-working
Texas native kept the hits coming. Chesnutt’s lat-
|bum, Thank God For Believers, has also made
|s with its title cut. The album contains a wide va-
|of selections — from heartbreaking ballads to
[stomping dance tunes, and Chesnutt co-wrote
)fthe songs on the album.
also can boast that he won the 1993 Horizon
|d for country music.
idem in all of Chesnutt’s music is his admiration
[aditional country. With influences like George
J, Hank Williams and Waylon Jennings, this mar-
ffather of two is keeping the old country spirit alive.
Adkins, winner of the 1997 Top New Male Vocal-
stlAward from the Academy of Country Music, is
m a roll.
His first album, Dreamin’Out Loud, went gold with
help from hit songs like “There’s A Girl In Texas,”
“Every Light In The House” and “(This Ain’t) No
Thinkin’ Thing.”
His current album, Big Time, has also hit radio and
television airwaves with its first single, “Lonely Won’t
Leave Me Alone.”
Originally from Sarepta, La., Adkins started his
music career by singing in a gospel quartet in
high school. He later went on to study petrole
um technology at Louisiana Tech Univer
sity. But it was his booming baritone
voice that made him a nationally
known recording artist.
Kicking off Saturday’s concert is
"Party Crowd” Murphy. His 1994 sin
gle, “Just Once,” brought him na
tional recognition, but it was his
1995 “Party Crowd” that hooked au
diences on his rowdy musical
style. His Out With A Bang al
bum includes the popular
party anthem as well as the
feel-good hit “Dust On The Bot
tle.” Murphy calls the album
“Saturday-night-in-a-pickup-
truck-with-the-windows-rolled-
down-having-a-good-time-party music,” and well,
that pretty much sums it up.
His new album, We Can’t All Be Angels, continues
this ride through country rock. He has an infectious,
high-energy style that is built on a strong songwrit
ing foundation. If Kyle Field had a roof to raise, Mur
phy certainly could do it.
Make History and Make a Difference
All proceeds from Saturday’s concert will benefit
the Boys and Girls Clubs of the Brazos Valley, the Har
vey Little League Association and the Still Creek Boys
and Girls Ranches.
Prince said the event organizers wanted to make
the concert a family-oriented event.
“It’s a show kids of all ages can enjoy,” she said.
“The underlying theme of all this is to help others —
especially the kids. That’s what it’s all about.”
