Kenny Chesney is taking a break from his rehearsals for the upcoming Sun City Carnival tour and playing small shows at college bars around the southeast. It’s become an annual event, dubbed the Keg In The Closet Tour, and Chesney has already played two of the shows and two more have been announced.
Last Saturday Chesney played the Jupiter Bar & Grill in Tuscaloosa, Alabama and then played a four hour show at the Exit Inn in Nashville on Monday night for 200 people. CMT.com has an article on the Exit Inn show here. It mentions that Brad Paisley joined Chesney on stage during the show.
“There’s nothing like the fun of Keg,” Chesney explains. “No set list. No stop time. No big deal production. Just me, the guys and every song we know… though beyond a few of our hits, you never really know what we’re gonna pull out: Tom Petty, U2, Soundgarden, David Allen Coe, some stuff we might figure out on the fly! Falling through space is a great thing when you’ve been rehearsing the way we have… and it’s fun, which is why we all started playing music in the first place.”
Two more Keg shows have been announced:
