Around The Region
BRETT KISSEL SHOW IN LENNOXVILLE
It was a cold and stormy night in Lennoxville when Brett Kissel ' s “ Ice , Snow and 30 Below ” country music show hit Bishops University ’ s Centennial Theater like a storm last Tuesday night . Kissel hit the stage at 8 p . m . to a packed Centennial Theater full of screaming fans , performing many of his hits and upcoming hits that made the crowd go wild . This high-energy music show kept all singing and dancing in their seats until close to 10:30 p . m . The weather was pretty extreme outside , but the name “ Ice , Snow and 30 Below ” certainly fit the night . We spoke with organizers from Fire House Productions , and also some fans , and all gave us the same answer : they were very satisfied with the show and look forward to Brett Kissel coming back to Centennial Theater .
