Chesney Teases iPhone App, Out Tomorrow!

by Josh | 02.21.2010 | Posted In: Downloads, No Shoes Radio

We reported on it last month, and now the wait is nearly over. On Monday, Kenny Chesney will release his own official iPhone/iTouch app for free through the Apple iTunes App Store.

“The sun and the sand in the palm of your hand” is the phrase posted on a teaser image here. It was sent out Sunday afternoon on Kenny’s Twitter and Facebook.

This promises to be a very rich app. Looking at the pictures, it will include the ability to play No Shoes Radio, information on the tour and ticket sales, an online store, media, and news.

The image also shows a “connect” option with the Twitter symbol, and since tweets have been sent from the app, there will apparently be built-in support for tweeting straight from the app.

Full Details on No Shoes Radio in Miami for Super Bowl

by Josh | 01.28.2010 | Posted In: No Shoes Radio, Radio, Related Artists, Sports

No Shoes Radio has posted the full details for their broadcasts from Miami during Super Bowl week (next week):

“I try to bring the fans into my music… into my life,” says Kenny. “The cool part about No Shoes Radio is it puts people right in the vibe of my life, what we’re listening to… where we’re going… what the moments might hold.”

And from February 2-4, look for NSR to go live for a few hours a day from poolside at the legendary Surfcomber to bring the vibe that is the pre-party anticipation. Exact times are being worked out – and will be updated as they lockdown on www.noshoesradio.com, Twitter and Facebook — but tentatively are 5-7 pm EST on Tuesday and 11 am – 2 pm on Thursday and then starting at 8 pm on Wednesday and going live straight until Uncle Kracker takes the stage.

“Miami is strictly VIP, invitation only,” says Chesney. “But we’re gonna take my friends – by way of No Shoes Radio – to hang out. There’ll be people stopping by… a party going on… and all of the post-long-day-in-the-sun vibe that is South Beach in full swing. I can’t get you in, but that doesn’t mean I can’t bring you along.”

No word as to whether Chesney will make the pool party or not, “which I hate, because I took a year off form the big tours to be able to do this kind of stuff… and I know this one’s gonna rock.” So perhaps even Chesney will be tuning in via his own radio station.

“Kracker’s new album is awesome,” Chesney explains, “and anyone who saw us when he was out on the road knows that Matt is a great entertainer. He knows how to rock and also to have fun with it. If I don’t get there, I’m gonna be bummed… but these movies are a lot more work than you think!”

Be sure to tune in next week at www.noshoesradio.com!

Chesney Everywhere During Super Bowl Week

by Josh | 01.28.2010 | Posted In: No Shoes Radio, Radio, Sports

Not only will two of Kenny Chesney’s good friends be competing in the Super Bowl next week (Saints coach Sean Payton and Colts quarterback Peyton Manning), but Kenny himself will be there in spirit.

His single “This Is Our Time” will kick off Westwood One’s radio coverage of the Super Bowl, placing it on 600 radio stations across America and on American Forces Radio Network. The song, which Chesney was inspired to write in the fall of 2008 during a dinner in Nashville with play-by-play announcer Brett Musburger, football analyst Kirk Herbstreit and producer Bill Bonnell, was featured on ESPN’s College Game Day broadcasts this past fall.

Also, No Shoes Radio will be live at the Hooters Super Pool Party in Miami February 2nd-4th. View NSR’s Facebook page for details.

So Chesney will be represented in song and in spirit during Super Bowl week. Will he be there in person? What do you think?
