Kenny Chesney hit the stage at the 2013 ACM Awards on Sunday to perform his latest hit, 'Pirate Flag.' The audience waved their black and white 'No Shoes Nation' flags proudly as the singer did his thing. Some lucky fans were able to watch while butted up against the stage, and they formed a 'No Shoes Nation' pocket around the front of the riser while they watched Chesney perform.
Kenny Chesney is inspirational, with loads of No. 1 hits and high-energy concerts that exemplify his charismatic personality and zeal for music. But one of the most heartwarming aspects of this successful performer is his tender heart, which he recently portrayed in the aftermath of the Newtown tragedy.
In recent years, Kenny Chesney has began to reveal layers of his personal life through his music. Songs from 'Hemingway's Whiskey,' 'Welcome to the Fishbowl' and 'Life on a Rock' are his most personal and introspective to date, but he's still somewhat of a private person, one who shuns social media in favor of retreats to the islands. There are plenty of things even a superfan of the 'Pirate Flag' singer might not know.
The 2013 ACMs just wouldn't be complete without performances from the hottest names in country music, and the Academy of Country Music has just announced new additions to the exciting performance lineup, including Kenny Chesney and Taylor Swift.
Kenny Chesney is gearing up to release a new album titled 'Life on a Rock,' and now we have the track listing for the record -- which includes a duet with the legendary Willie Nelson.
While the music industry is full of musicians who are still trying to 'make it,' Billboard has compiled a list of forty musicians who have been successful in 2012, at least according to their pocketbooks. Many fan-favorite country artists made the cut, an example of the popularity of country music today.
From the first note, one knows the new single from Kenny Chesney's upcoming album is filled with more hope than much of the pensive material on 'Welcome to the Fishbowl.' 'Pirate Flag' opens softly -- with strings and a bouncy mandolin -- before Chesney begins to tell his story.
The much anticipated Kenny Chesney single from his forthcoming album was released Friday as Kenny's fans lined up to hear 'Pirate Flag' his new song online, for the first time. No Shoes Radio is Chesney's personal internet radio station, and according to Kenny's website "the tune in was so intense, the bandwidth was filled to the brink that it was slowed to a slightly less than optimal speed." Kenny went on to say "this is crazy!"
Kenny Chesney will explore the living conditions of 'Life on a Rock' with the upcoming release of his second album in less than a year. Anchored by the project's first radio offering, 'Pirate Flag,' the 10-track collection will hit store shelves and digital retailers on April 30.
Kenny Chesney will wave his 'Pirate Flag' proudly next week as he releases the first single from his upcoming studio album to all digital outlets on Jan. 31.
