Kenny Chesney Ready to Walk Orange Carpet for Football Film
Kenny Chesney released his football documentary, 'The Boys of Fall,' last year, and that wasn't the end of his sports film career. The east Tennesse native recently produced and directed 'The Color Orange: The Condredge Holloway Story,' a documentary on Condredge Holloway, the first starting African-American quarterback at the University of Tennessee. The movie will premiere on February 16 at the Tennessee Theater in Knoxville, with Kenny and Condredge set to walk the appropriately-colored orange carpet together. They'll follow the film screening with a question-and-answer session.
Participating in the documentary was a dream come true for Kenny, a die-hard University of Tennessee fan who grew up idolizing Condredge -- even wearing the quarterback's jersey number when he played football in high school.
"Condredge has meant so much to so many and is a very important figure in my life and to the history of College Football," Kenny says. "I'm excited, with the help of [music video director] Shaun Silva, to tell his story, to show his journey, and to help show the world just how influential he was to how the game is played today and how many doors he opened for so many athletes that have followed in his footsteps."
Fans can watch the televised debut of 'The Color Orange: The Condredge Holloway Story' on February 20 at 8:00 PM ET on ESPN.
The five-time ACM nominee recently announced he is extending his Goin' Coastal tour, with opening acts Billy Currington and Uncle Kracker, as well as the Zac Brown Band joining him on his ten stadium shows. Keep track of Kenny's concert schedule here.
