We saw Alabama, after they got big, in Toledo. At the University of Toledo - I forget what it was called - maybe Centennial Hall? This was in 1996 or 1997. Alabama, some other group, and the opening act was Kenny Chesney.

I'd never heard of him before. But he was pretty good. To put it lightly. Little guy, skinny. Sat at his merch Stand between acts, selling, signing, etc.
