The 2009 Sun City Carnival Tour spent the weekend in Florida as Kenny Chesney performed Friday night in Jacksonville at Veterans Memorial Arena and then played the Ford Amphitheater in Tampa on Saturday.

Jacksonville.com has a review of Friday night’s show: “Kenny Chesney’s beach-and-beer style resonates with Jacksonville crowd”

There is no one who’s done what Kenny Chesney is doing. Every year he comes to the Jacksonville Veterans Memorial Arena and every single year he sells out the place. Nobody does that. I don’t think anybody else could do that.

And there is no party going like a Chesney concert. You could sense before you even got to the arena: A few more limos lining up, a lot more drinking in the parking lot and the guys who resell tickets were walking around empty-handed asking if anyone had extras.

Chesney’s Sun City Carnival Tour rolled into Jacksonville Friday. The arena was absolutely packed and it was very much a party. The crowd sang every bit as much as Chesney did. And though it stretched up to four hours with the opening acts, few left. You almost always see people leave before the encore, but not many left.

And the St. Petersburg Times has a review of Saturday night’s show: “Kenny Chesney gives fans a big, besotted holiday”

Randy Johnson doesn’t take kindly to steel drums and flip-flops in his country music. The 30-year-old Frito-Lay sales rep from Lakeland is an old-school outlaw fan, and he has the Johnny Cash shirt and Man in Black action figure to prove it.

That’s why he can only shake his head as the women in his life — his wife Katy Sue Johnson, 28, and his mother Katherine Teal, 50 — festoon the Ford Windstar parked in their front yard with Day-Glo shout-outs to a new-school king of country.

Husbands are one thing. Kenny Chesney, the behatted heir apparent to Jimmy Buffett, the man seducing 20,000 diehards at a sold-out Ford Amphitheatre in Tampa Saturday, is another.
