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.
