Penn’s Peak announces Mark Chesnutt will appear on stage at 8 p.m. Sept. 19.

Chesnutt is one of country’s true musical treasures. Critics have hailed him as a classic country singer of the first order and some of Country music’s most elite entertainers, from George Jones to George Strait, echo the sentiment.

Chesnutt’s stature is easily gauged. He has 14 No. 1 hits, 23 top ten singles, four platinum albums and five gold records to his credit; he maintains a front-and-center presence with a hefty tour schedule year after year.

Remaining true to himself as a traditional country artist, while keeping the pace with the ever-changing country recording landscape, Chesnutt has a knack for picking great songs, delivering them with world-class style and a heartfelt emotion that’s lived-in.

“Mark Chesnutt gave honky-tonk music back its soul,” noted music critic Robert K. Oermann. “When Chesnutt appeared on an arid musical landscape back in 1990, I dubbed him the hillbilly messiah.” Oermann stated.

Dubbed as one of the “most reliable country artists” (Craig Shelburne/CMT.com), Chesnutt does not disappoint. He is masterful in his natural ability to let his voice shape the words to create a moving musical motion picture (reminiscent of traditional country music standards such as Charlie Rich’s “Behind Closed Doors” and Vern Gosdin’s “Is It Raining At Your House”) and his current single, entitled “When The Lights Go Out (Tracie’s Song)” is the very essence of Chesnutt’s musical fiber as an autobiographical reflection of his life and loves — country music and his wife, Tracie.
