Kenny Chesney is an eight-time Entertainer of the Year and the only country artist to appear on Billboard’s Top 10 Touring Artists of the last 25 years. The East Tennessee songwriter is known for his high-energy live shows and playing to more than a million people every full-scale tour he’s done. Amid his sold-out stadium tour, Chesney adds an intimate stop at South Florida’s premier entertainment venue. “It’s a little like a supersized Keg show,” Chesney said. “We will be in the thick of stadiums, and it’s always nice to go somewhere a bit more intimate – and really experience the songs up close, but with the energy of having the people up close.”
“South Florida has been such a big piece of my career since I kicked off my first true headlining tour in West Palm Beach, headlined the first Tortuga Music Festival – and have played many nights on Duval Street in Key West. It feels like we need to touch base in the southern part of Florida to make our touring official.”
With more Billboard No. 1 country songs than any other artist, his rock/country hybrid has been the sound of coming of age in the 21st century. His groundbreaking singles include “American Kids,” “Here & Now,” “Get Along,” “You & Tequila,” “Somewhere with You,” “Save It for a Rainy Day” and “Beer in Mexico.” Purveyor of No Shoes Radio which now exists on SiriusXM as a home for his eclectic AOR/island/songwriter blend, Chesney has been called “The King of the Road,” by the Wall Street Journal and “The People’s Superstar” by the Los Angeles Times.
“I love when we can strip the tour down to where the music really is the star of the night,” he said. “It reminds all of us playing these shows the power of these songs, how much intensity they hold – and why they’ve watermarked so many lives over the years.
