Last night, 96.9 The Kat hosted its Next Big Star contest. Four finalists performed in hopes of being picked to open for Kenny Chesney when he comes in concert to Verizon Wireless later this month. Congratulations to Jamie Leigh and her band of boys (pictured in the first image of the gallery, Whiskey01).

Also, check out a video we took at the event.
