Chance McKinney grew up in Lolo and attended Big Sky High School. But after high school, he left for Seattle. Chance followed in his father’s footsteps and became a high school math teacher. But in 2009, everything changed. Chance submitted a song to CMT’s Music City Madness where he won first place.

In early March, he’ll be heading to Nashville to meet with a record producer and record CMT’s Studio 330. But this week, he’s headed on a media tour throughout the Northwest. And today, Chance stopped in his hometown of Missoula and visited with KECI. We’ll have more on Chance’s journey tonight on the news at 6 and 10.
