BEFORE CHANCE MCKINNEY was a CMT Award Winner, before he was a million vote getter in Music City Madness, before he was on tour dates with Blake Shelton, Luke Bryan, Dierks Bentley, Darius Rucker, Kenny Rogers, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Dwight Yoakam & Trace Adkins…..Chance McKinney was your run-of-the-mill All-American javelin thrower, all-black Motown Revue singer, college track coach and high school math teacher.  The all-too-common tale of “teacher goes signer” is something we’ve all heard before.  Everybody knows if you release an album, two weeks later you’ll find yourself opening for Kenny Chesney in your first country show.  Everybody knows if you enter a contest for the #1 “unsigned” singer/songwriter in the Nation that you’ll win with more than one million votes for your self-penned tune “Be Real.”  And then the obvious, release a follow-up album after 3 years of touring and debut at #62 pm iTunes Country Album Charts.  It’s all commonplace, so we won’t bore you with the details.
