Chloe Channell ‘Excited’ About Northview Blue Jacket Jamboree Appearance
February 27, 2014
America fell in love with Chloe Channell last fall on NBC’s “America’s Got Talent” when she sang the Carrie Underwood cover song “All American Girl”. The song title almost describes the 12-year old middle school student, but perhaps make it “All American Country Girl”.
She was already a local star of sorts, performing with the Sawmill Band on a regular basis at the Farmer’s Opry in Chumuckla, since she was seven. But since the national TV appearances in front of millions, her fame has grown (how many local 12-year olds do you know with two million YouTube views on one video?).
She spent the Christmas holidays in Branson, Missouri, on stage with country star Billy Dean in the Kenny Rogers production “The Toy Shoppe”.
But now she’s “really excited” about March 8 and her appearance at the Blue Jacket Jamboree at Northview High School.
“I can’t wait because that will be the first show of the year with my band The Two-Dollar Pistols,” she said. “I’ve mostly just been singing at my church. But we are about to really get busy for the year beginning with the Northview show.”
Chloe will perform for an hour and a half during the Northview Blue Jacket Jamboree — a long show that she says will give her plenty of time for her favorites. She will perform her the cover of “All American Girl”, debut some original songs written for her by Billy Dean and a few favorites from The Band Perry and Sugarland.
“I can really relate to some of the Sugarland songs,” she said Wednesday night.
When asked what’s her favorite song right now, she replied “Shout to the Lord”.
“Do you know that one?” she asked.
“Shout to the Lord, all the earth, let us sing. Power and majesty, praise to the King,” she began to sing. “That’s a cool song. I don’t know if I’ll get to do that one (at Northview) or not.”
The Northview High School FFA Alumni Blue Jacket Jamboree is Saturday, March 8 from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. in the football stadium. All-day events include a craft show, car show, kids activities and games and food. Local artist Dusty Sanderson will perform from noon until 1:30 p.m., and Chloe Channel will perform from 2:30 until 4:00.
Admission, including entertainment, is $5 at the gate, $2 for children 12 and under. Parking is free. Craft and vendor booths are still available; call Pam at (850) 712-6267. The Blue Jacket Jamboree is sponsored in part by NorthEscambia.com.
