Kenny Chesney Returns To The Road

Kenny Chesney had a hard time adjusting to a very different way of life during the pandemic, most especially not being able to tour and connect with his fans night after night.

“I used to be a very impatient person then the music business taught me patience and the coronavirus taught me that I didn’t have as much patience as I thought because I love playing music, I’m impatient when it comes to wanting to get out there and feel that energy again. I feel lost without it so I think that I don’t know it just made me be still when it’s hard for me to be still. It’s been a struggle there’s no doubt about it.”

Kenny was finally reunited with his No Shoes Nation on Saturday, April 23rd at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida for the first night of his Here And Now Tour.

He was so excited, Kenny actually took the stage two minutes early, greeting a capacity crowd of 58,369 people, which surpassed his own 2018 record of 55,292. He performed for over two hours.

“I knew it was going to be good, but this was other level stuff . . . If music holds people together, it also brings them together – and lets them release so much of what’s locked inside. After four years, we were together again — and we were going to squeeze every last drop and bit of passion out of every single song.”

Kenny and his tour mates, Old Dominion, actually got the party started on Thursday, April 21st where Old Dominion announced a pop-up show at Ybor City’s Crowbar and performed an intimate set for about 300 fans, according to the Tampa Bay Times.

Kenny showed up halfway through the set where he joined the band on his hit “Save It For A Rainy Day.

The Here and Now 2022 Tour comes into Detroit on August 20th.
