BEST LOCAL SINGER
WINNER

KENNY CHESNEY

For the third time, local-boy-who-done-good Kenny Chesney has charmed East Tennesseans into naming him their favorite singer. We asked his rep at RCA/BNA Records to track Kenny down on tour and tell him about it. The singer responded with this:

"It's always nice when anyone recognizes you or your music. You put it out there for the people, you know. But to be voted favorite singer in my hometown, I can't think of anything better … especially because Knoxville is where I grew up, where I fell in love with music, where the people showed me what being a fan is all about – and Knoxville fans are the best."

Runners-up: Kim Baxter, Dolly Parton
