Kenny Chesney Gets His SPHERE On, No Shoes Nation Finds A New Dimension

They came in rhinestones, flip-flops, grass skirts, stilettos, Bermuda shorts, cowboy boots, Hawaiian shirts and a couple Low Key Bob Fan Club tees. Whatever the look, they all had the same mission: to see where Kenny Chesney was taking No Shoes Nation with his 2025 Vegas Sphere residency, his only live appearances this year.
 
Triumphantly taking the stage after a far-reaching DJ set by Brandi Cyrus, the East Tennessean kicked off with the longstanding classic “Beer In Mexico” as sugar skulls rained down and animated skulls danced and drank long neck cervezas from Sphere’s wraparound video wall. Between the rush of the band, the intensity of the visuals and the anticipation in the house, the energy onstage and in the room was palpable. But even more, the anticipation of the fans who’d been in line for several hours was met with an integrated experience of sonics, visuals, musicians and heart that met that built-up excitement straight on.
 
Whether it was the technicolor immersion of cell phones in an aquatic tank in “Welcome to the Fish Bowl,” a song Chesney wrote 15 years ago to take on the invasiveness of social media, the multi-dimensional midway carnival of “Til It’s Gone” or the almost overwhelming swirl of tiles featuring images from the “Noise” video, Chesney and the Revival met the moment – and the increased production values – with a real passion that saw an audience dancing and clapping with stadium-sized abandon.
 
“It’s overwhelming a little,” Chesney says, “beyond the visuals, which build and move, the fans are so close – even in the 400 section – that you’re consumed by all of it when you look up. But it makes you feel so alive to have everyone right there, rocking, singing and almost beyond being in the moment.”
 
When Kelsea Ballerini appeared on top of a small riser in a mirror sequined mini dress and high ponytail, it was clear this will be a residence of real surprises. Reaching out to his friend and “half of my hometown” partner, the pair blazed through an unplanned “She Thinks My Tractor’s Sexy,” as well as their No. 1 duet and Ballerini sitting in for Grace Potter on “You & Tequila.”
 
“We have the ability to add things in, change it up,” the artist who’s done surprise college bar tours, beach takeovers on the Alabama/Florida line, two dozen major stadiums a summer and three consecutive nights at Foxborough, Mass.’s Gillette Stadium says of the flexibility. “Even with this 4-D production, we can keep the spontaneity and in the moment magic that have made our shows a revival and right of summer for the last twenty years.”
 
The only country artist to be in Billboard’s Top 10 Touring Acts of the Last 25 Years for the last 15 years, Chesney joins the very select handful of cultural icons and Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees U2, (Grateful) Dead & Company and the Eagles, plus Phish for four very singular concerts to play the 17,600-seat spherical venue deploys next-generation technologies. The world’s highest resolution LED display wraps up, over and around the audience, creating a fully immersive visual environment.
 
Over a year in the making, Chesney and his team, along with experts from Sphere Studios’ advanced tech and creative teams, captured content, as well deployed cutting-edge animation techniques, to create a whole new experience in how the East Tennessee songwriter/superstar’s music is experienced. It all came together last night in Las Vegas where the crowd roared with delight, took over “American Kids” and “Anything But Mine” with a fervor that matched the largest stadium shows.
 
Drawing on songs never performed live, including the sweeping “One Lonely Island” and a mesmerizing “Seven Days,” the songs also took on an intimacy to match the moment. For everyone who’d traveled to the Nevada desert for the first time ever, not only were their expectations more than met, the window to what’s possible over the next several weeks has been opened. Get ready.
 
“We knew as we rehearsed in Sphere the last couple days this was going to be intense,” Chesney explains. “But nothing can prepare you for seeing No Shoes Nation flying through the underwater landscapes, coming over the top of pirate ships and being dropped into a pin ball machine. The looks of joy, awe and total wow on their faces did all of our hearts good.
 
“I can’t believe we have to wait until Saturday night to do it all over again.”

THREE GUESTS, SURPRISE SONGS: Kenny Rocks LA's SoFi Stadium

Twenty-four shows into a summer that’s seen the songwriter/superstar from East Tennessee shattering attendance records, besting his own numbers and often moving his stage all the way to the back wall, Kenny Chesney hit Los Angeles like a favorite son come home. Without missing a beat, he moved from a high velocity “Living in Fast Forward” to a surging medley of “Beer In Mexico,” “Keg In The Closet” and guitar-forward “KC/DC,” then a double time “Here And Now” as he returned to SoFi Stadium. The only country act – and second overall to the Rolling Stones – to bring two tours through the Inglewood, Calif.-based venue, the crowd was up and ready for whatever the night might hold.
 
“You can tell when you hit the stage,” reflected the eight-time Entertainer of the Year, “when an audience is ready to bring everything they’ve got. No Shoes Nation more than showed up at SoFi; they sang hard, were on their feet from the beginning and really leaning into songs that set a positive vibe for living life in the moment.”
 
Beyond multiple week No. 1s “Summertime,” “Get Along,” “American Kids” and “Save It For A Rainy Day,” the man the Wall Street Journal called “The King of the Road” blazed through fan favorites “Somewhere With You,” “Never Wanted Nothing More,” “How Forever Feels” and “Young.” Even more thrilling: three special guests, who each joined Chesney for a pair of songs.
 
First up was Uncle Kracker, who romped through the pair’s five week No. 1, double-Platinum smash “When The Sun Goes Down,” followed by sharing Mentor Williams’ “Drift Away,” which Kracker took to No. 1 for 28 weeks on Billboard’s Adult Contemporary chart. That turned straight into a euphoric rendition of “All The Pretty Girls” with Megan Moroney, rolling into a romping rendition of “She Thinks My Tractor’s Sexy.”
 
But the evening’s biggest surprise was Kelsea Ballerini, who the stadium-sized headliner hadn’t realized was in California. Surprising him Saturday with an ask to come sing, the pair dueted on their Country Music Association award-winning “half of my hometown,” as well as a yearning rendition of Chesney’s Grace Potter pairing “You & Tequila.”
 
“The beauty of music, especially live music, is that every day is different, and every day it will surprise you,” he said after the show. “If you’re in-the-moment of it, you can sing with three really good friends in the same show, and know that will never happen again…”
 
Certainly, for an audience who bestowed Chesney with license plates invoking song titles from Arizona (DOWNDRD), California (LYKWEDO) and Nevada (1MRSNST), it was a night where music set the tone and delivered a kind of rapture that saw the crowd waving their arms from side-to-side song-after-song and taking chorus-after-chorus along with Chesney and band.
 
“It’s fun when my friends come out and sing with me,” Chesney says of the night’s collaborations. “It makes the music seem alive. It’s like hearing No Shoes Nation: that’s when all the happy and the magic come together.”
 
Presented by Blue Chair Bay® Rum, it’s all about the friends, high energy and songs people know by heart.

Kenny Chesney Offers No Shoes Radio for the Rest of July!

With the Sun Goes Down 2024 Tour setting and breaking his own records in stadiums across the country, “Take Her Home” becoming his 33rd Billboard No. 1 and “Just To Say We Did” climbing the charts, Kenny Chesney wanted to find a way to dial up the fun as summer continues rolling along. Having always tried to keep the music front and center, why not give No Shoes Nation 24/7 access to the sounds of great times, good friends and the moments that last a lifetime?
 
Working with the folks at SiriusXM, Chesney and his team are making No Shoes Radio available – for free – through the end of July. With road trips, beach escapes and hopefully nights at Chesney’s upcoming shows, what better way to get there than listening to Kenny, Tommy, Kizzy, the road family and all kinds of music?
 
“Music has always been what’s driven me, made life make sense and dialed up the fun,” says the East Tennessee songwriter/superstar. “When we first launched No Shoes Radio all those years ago, I realized how much and how many kinds of music I listen to, and I loved everything about sharing everything from Bob Marley to Grace Potter, live tracks and special guests with my friends in No Shoes Nation.
 
“I don’t think there’s any other music mix quite like it, but I think the people who love our music are a lot like me. They love a whole lot of different things, maybe listen based on the mood or vibe like we do. So over the years, No Shoes Radio has been one of the best things in my world! It lets me take No Shoes Nation along wherever I may end up.”
 
Taking people behind the scenes, on the road, even onstage, No Shoes Radio is almost the listening companion to Sun Goes Down 2024. For fans who are not currently subscribers, you can take advantage of this special, limited window to enjoy No Shoes Radio by visiting SiriusXM.com/NoShoesRadioListenFree.
 
With “Just To Say We Did” hitting terrestrial radio, the anthem for shooting your shot, living your life out loud and embracing the moment is rolling out of car windows and off boats across the country. Always one to distill life in songs that make people live their best life right where they are, Chesney is all about giving people as much music as they can possibly enjoy.
 
“To me, music is medicine,” Chesney says. “It’s love. It’s fun. It’s healing. It’s the thing that truly defines the rhythm of whatever we’re seeking, takes us where we wanna be. And I love all the ways people can find the songs that are going be the soundtrack of summer 2024.”
 
Presented by Blue Chair Bay® Rum, the Sun Goes Down 2024 Tour runs throughout the summer.

“Because everything gets hotter when the sun goes down…’

No Shoes Nation Drives Chesney's 2nd Single: Just To Say We Did

While Kenny Chesney’s albums have always been a reflection of his life, the world around him and people he encounters, the precedent-setting artist has always put a premium on finding songs that also embody the lives of people who have led lives a lot like he did growing up in East Tennessee. Values-driven, friends- and family-oriented, his music tackles turning points, hard truths and all the joy one can create along the way, and it helped “Take Her Home” become his 33rd – and record extending – No. 1 at Billboard and his 36th No. 1 at Country Aircheck.
 
To celebrate that achievement, Chesney leaned into No Shoes Nation to pick the life-turning “Take Her Home”’s follow-up. The result captures the existential thrill of being alive. After listening to social media, streaming services and random run-ins with fans across the nation, there was only one choice for the man the Los Angeles Times called “the People’s Superstar.”
 
“Everywhere we went, everyone was asking for the same song,” Chesney reports. “Everybody wanted us to release ‘Just To Say We Did.’ It was insane how almost unanimous it was, but it’s also pretty much a perfect summer song. I mean, if there’s ever a time when you’re gonna get out of your comfort zone, do something crazy or unthinkable, it’s now.
 
“And the thing I loved about the song when we were putting BORN together was that idea of ‘shoot your shot!’ Whatever it is, forget the excuses – just do it! Don’t look down, don’t look back! Just jump into the moment and ride it for all it’s worth.”
 
Savory and smart, the percolating midtempo absolutely leans into that embrace the moment, take the chance reality that has defined No Shoes Nation. As Chesney said when the album was coming out, “What can I say? ‘Just To Say We Did’ sounds like me and my friends growing up, and so many people I’ve met along the way. It’s a song where whatever it is, why not? Get out there and live, shoot your shot, do that bucket list thing – just to say you did. When you can boil down how to create real joy into three minutes that feel this good, I want to sing that song.
 
“And I think this summer since we’ve been out on the Sun Goes Down Tour, ‘Just To Say We Did’ captures a lot of the energy we’re live on. Not just my road family, but all those crazy, awesome folks pulling up and tailgating out in the parking lots where No Shoes Nation comes to life every weekend. I can’t always get out there among ’em, but that doesn’t mean I don’t hear them or see them, because I do – and it reminds of growing up in the best way possible.”
 
The Sun Goes Down 2024 Tour, presented by Blue Chair Bay® Rum, has been shattering Chesney’s previous records at almost every stadium he’s played this year. Beyond scratching to find more seats multiple times in Tampa and Philadelphia, as well as a third show at Foxborough, Mass.’s Gillette Stadium, Chesney most recently topped his best at Chicago’s Soldier Field by 2,000 tickets.

“...because everything gets hotter when the sun goes down...”

Kenny Chesney's BORN Is Here; 15 Songs, "Sunday TODAY" & A Lotta No Shoes Nation

Four years... songs camps... good friends... crazy great musicians... new collaborators... writing songs to distill life, making music for all the reasons. Kenny Chesney didn’t see it coming, didn’t set out to make an album. Instead, he’s spent the time since the world shut down playing music with friends, scraping bits of life into lyrics and melodies, listening to songs he loved and recording when the moment struck with longtime collaborator Buddy Cannon. After all that, BORN is born.
 
“I can’t call it a process, because we never set out to make a record, just explore songs and moments for the sake of music,” Chesney offers. “All of sudden, time had passed and somehow we had all these songs that looked like different pieces of who I – and just about everyone in No Shoes Nation, too – am.
 
“It wasn’t a master plan. There was no theme we’re singing about that holds it together. But if you listen to all 15 songs, you’ll get the high energy fun, chasing adventures, don’t let people get you down piece and you’ll get the more reflective thinking about someone who’s died, the person you know you shouldn’t call emotions that have always been in the music, too.”
 
Whether the rush of “Just To Say We Did,” the chasing adventure “One More Sunset,” the sweeping drama of “One Lonely Island,” or the naughty no-strings delight of “Guilty Pleasure,” as well as the driving “Long Gone” and chilled philosophizing of “This Too Shall Pass,” BORN offers a bunch of feel good to make a crazy world feel better. On the other end of the spectrum, Chesney gets contemplative with “Come Here, Go Away,” the passage of time healer “The Way I Love You Now,” the pensive female freedom of “Top Down” and the album closing toast to those who’ve passed away “Wherever You Are Tonight.”
 
“Making music to make music, suddenly there’s room for a few road trip songs like ‘One More Sunset’ or ‘Just To Say We Did,’ songs that sound like me and my buddies growing up,” says the eight-time Entertainer of the Year. “And you don’t worry as much about having a few songs that are more introspective, or looking at the tough spots of letting go like ‘Thinkin’ Bout’ and ‘Come Here, Go Away,’ which everyone’s lived through.
 
“When you listen to ‘Born,’ there’s a whole lot of truth about living, life, the big questions and what we’re all trying to experience. That banjo out front really throws you into the song, which feels great. I love a lyric that throws out all the options, but it never actually tells you what to do. Here it comes down to one existential truth, no matter who you are or what you’re chasing: ‘one thing’s for certain, we’ve all been living since the day we were born.’”
 
After all these months, No Shoes Nation can finally unpack all the moods and moments that make BORN Chesney’s most far-reaching album to date. With “Take Her Home” cresting the Top 10, three layers of rehearsals under way for the Sun Goes Down 2024 Tour and Chesney on “Sunday TODAY with Willie Geist” this weekend, the time has arrived for new music to set the tone for another summer of tailgates and stadiums for No Shoes Nation.

Kenny CHESNEY Tour Rehearsals: “Can't Wait for People To Hear Them!”

Here And Now 2022 Tour Rehearsals Are Full Tilt + Rockin’

After all of the scheduling, rescheduling, routing, debating, waiting and wanting to make sure No Shoes Nation could come together in the spirit that defines them, Kenny Chesney has been merging all the layers of his Here And Now 2022 Tour together in an industrial complex outside of Nashville for the last week. With his usual eye to technological advancements a given, what’s really inspiring the eight-time Entertainer of the Year is the power of this year’s band.

“It’s leaner, but more muscular,” he says. “There’s a real sense of power when they play, engagement in the way they listen to each other – and really push how we deliver these songs. It’s crazy. It’s always been a rocking band. But this year, this group of people, the chemistry and energy they have together, I was shocked to see how much more these songs could be; every day, it’s another surprise, and it’s awesome.”

With some classics coming off the set list, Chesney’s worked up several songs to possibly rotate in. Having not been on the road since releasing Here And Now in early 2020, the East Tennessee songwriter/superstar is looking forward to playing some of those songs and introducing them to No Shoes Nation.

“We’ve worked up a pretty cool version of ‘Knowing You’,” he offers. “As much as this show is built on high energy, rock hard, have fun vibes, there’s a feeling to ‘Knowing You’ that’s going to make every football stadium in America feel like that place you go with your most special memories, wherever that is.

“It means ‘You And Tequila’ and ‘Wild Child’ may not be in the stadiums this year. But I think No Shoes Nation is going to respond to this the same way they did ‘Anything But Mine.’”

Weighing in at 26 songs, with several options waiting in the wings, the man the Wall Street Journal called “The King of the Road” has a created the perfect playlist for making the most of a summer night. Hits from the last several years, a few classics and a couple new ones, with every single song about lifting the fans up, empowering them to love life and celebrate their lives right where they are in the moment.

“I don’t think I’ve ever thought about what these songs taken as a whole are made of,” Chesney explains. “But playing to them with this new band, I realized: the songs I’ve always gravitated to are the ones about living life the way you want to, loving the experiences you have and the people you meet along the way. Maybe you can’t set out with that as a mission statement, but if you’re making music true to your own soul and life, I now realize you truly can show people who you are in the music.

“Maybe that’s why No Shoes Nation is unlike any other group of fans I’ve ever encountered. They share that same compass, too. So, when they hear these songs, they recognize a real truth in them, too.

“And it’s very much the music. Harmoni’s bass playing is so solid and melodic, but when you put it with Nick Buda’s drums, it’s just this wave that sweeps you up and takes you places. It’s given the guitarists so much room to really go places, too. And you can feel it from almost the first note. I can’t wait to get to Tampa and let everybody hear what I’m hearing right now.”

As April 23 at Tampa’s Raymond James Stadium draws near, the Here And Now 2022 Tour presented by Blue Chair Bay Rum and fueled by MARATHON is gearing up for a summer of stadiums, amphitheaters and a whole lot of music. With reigning Country Music Association and Academy of Country Music Female Vocalist Carly Pearce, five-time ACM and four-time CMA Group of the Year Old Dominion and four-time GRAMMY Country Duo/Group Performance winners Dan + Shay, the Here And Now 2022 Tour promises to be what summer memories are made of.

Kenny Chesney Adds Two New Band Members for HERE AND NOW Tour

KENNY CHESNEY ADDS NEW MUSICIANS
Here And Now May Be His Most Rocking Tour Ever

“After three years, I want to match all of the energy that is No Shoes Nation.”

Any time Kenny Chesney takes a year off, he feels disconnected from the life that is No Shoes Nation. Proclaimed “The King of the Road” by the Wall Street Journal, there is something that happens when he takes one of country music’s most exceptional set of songs and shares them with the people who live their lives inside his many hits.

Given that it’s been three years since he’s played a full-on concert, when the four-time Country Music Association and four-time consecutive Academy of Country Music Entertainer of the Year hits the stage, he’s coming with everything he’s got. For those who are used to his high-velocity presence and shows that make people smile for days, Chesney decided to up the ante – and has added Keith Urban multi-instrumentalist Danny Rader on guitar and Col. Bruce Hampton & The Aquarium Rescue Unit drummer Nick Buda.

“When we were looking at where to go, what to do next, it was interesting to see the chemistry with different people,” Chesney explains. “So many great musicians came out, which took all of us to a new place in how we see these songs, what they’re capable of. But in the end, because this is a band, not just a group of musicians who back someone up, what Danny and Nick brought was a freshness that hits hard and lifts everything up in some pretty great ways.

“Wyatt, Harmoni, Kenny Greenberg, and Jon are all still here – and bringing that magic like they always do. But adding the new players, they’re going to some pretty great places. We’ve not gone into the big room yet, but I can tell you from the run-throughs, it’s awesome.”

Buda, who left the jam band world to concentrate on session work, went to Boston’s acclaimed Berklee School of Music on the recommendation of Sting’s longtime drummer Vinnie Colaiuta. Rader, a three-time Academy of Country Music Award winner, most recently for 2017 Specialty Instrument(s) Player of the Year, plays bouzouki, mandolin, banjo and accordion as well as the electric guitar that’s tangled with Keith Urban live since 2010.

“When you’re playing as many different kinds of music as we’re actually playing every night – it’s rock, it’s reggae, it’s calypso and singer/songwriter stuff – having players who switch gears without people feeling it; using that chemistry really makes things electric onstage. We’re still in the early phases of this, but I think once we get out on those big stages, it’s going to be awesome with where these songs are going already.”

Here And Now 2022 kicks off April 23 at Tampa’s Raymond James Stadium. Presented by Blue Chair Bay Rum and fueled by MARATHON, the much anticipated tour reunites one of the most voracious fan bases with the East Tennessee songwriter/superstar whose songs have defined summer in the 21st Century. With an emphasis on electric guitars, a meaningful backbeat and enough joie du vivre to guarantee a good time no matter where you are in your life, Chesney’s tours have attracted over a million fans every year he’s engaged in an actual tour since 2002 – and this year, he’s on track to maintain that status.
