An Evening With Kenny Chesney & Holly Gleason on Heart • Life • Music
Kenny Chesney went from outside the Knoxville, Tennessee, city limits playing sports and loving music to defining the sound of coming-of-age in the 21st century. Rewriting and refocusing what a song could be, he fused rock, reggae, bluegrass, and a whole lot of positive energy to become a stadium-sized superstar and the only country act in Billboard’s “Top 10 Touring Acts of the Last 25 Years” for the past 15 years. A songwriter, groundbreaker, visionary, and regular guy, Chesney will speak with award-winning music critic and co-author Holly Gleason about the journey to get here, a Nashville being forgotten, the thrill of meeting and befriending heroes, and why pretty normal people can do incredible things.
