Kean Stage presents LeAnn Rimes

originally published: 07/25/2024

(UNION, NJ) -- Kean Stage presents LeAnn Rimes on Saturday, November 9, 2024 at 7:30pm in the Wilkins Theatre. LeAnn is an international multi-platinum-selling acclaimed singer and ASCAP award-winning songwriter.

Rimes has sold more than 48 million units globally and won 2 Grammy® Awards, 12 Billboard Music Awards, 2 World Music Awards, 3 Academy of Country Music Awards, 2 Country Music Association Awards, and one Dove Award. At 14, Rimes won “Best New Artist” making her the youngest solo artist to take home a Grammy® Award, and at 15, she became the first country artist to win “Artist of the Year” at the Billboard Music Awards.

Out of the 63 singles she has released throughout her expansive career, LeAnn’s ballad How Do I Live holds the record as Billboard’s Hot 100 all-time #1 hit by a female artist and currently ranks #6 on Billboard’s “Greatest of All Time: Hot 100 Songs” list. 15 of her multi-genre singles are top-10 hits, including Can’t Fight the Moonlight, which went #1 in 11 countries.

Tickets range from $69-$95 and are available for purchase online starting Friday, July 26 at 10:00am. Wilkins Theatre is located on the Kean University campus at 1000 Morris Avenue in Union, New Jersey.

The last couple of years have been quite a resurgence for LeAnn. In 2022, LeAnn received the prestigious ASCAP Golden Note Award, which is presented to genre-spanning songwriters, composers, and artists who have achieved extraordinary career milestones. She also saw the release of her 19th album, God’s Work (EverLe Records via Thirty Tigers/ The Orchard) in 2022. The album features a roster of accomplished artists like Ziggy Marley, Mickey Guyton, Aloe Blacc, Ben Harper, and more, and was listed as #9 on Variety‘s “The Best Albums of 2022.” They said: “You won’t find a richer collection of melodic writing on any album released this year, with the twists and turns that maybe only someone capable of all that virtuosic vocalizing could think to take a set of songs into.”

She performed songs from the project on national shows, including LIVE With Kelly and Ryan and TODAY. In April of the same year, LeAnn headlined an episode of the iconic music series CMT Crossroads entitled LeAnn Rimes & Friends alongside Mickey Guyton, Carly Pearce, Ashley McBryde, and Brandy Clark, who helped commemorate Rimes’ career and recognize the path she blazed forward for women in all genres.

LeAnn also served as the inspiration judge on the Discovery+ competition series Meet Your Makers Showdown alongside Chrissy Metz and Mark Montano in November 2021 and won season four of FOX’s The Masked Singer. Entertainment Weekly stated that she delivered” the most beautiful performance in the history of The Masked Singer.”
