Chesney on Mike & Mike Friday

by Josh | 02.01.2010 | Posted In: Radio, Sports, Television

The ESPN duo Mike & Mike (Mike Golic and Mike Greenberg) revealed on Twitter tonight that Kenny Chesney will join them on set in Miami this Friday:

Chesney is a favorite of Mike & Mike. He joined them last April when the tour launched in Uncasville, CT (near ESPN’s headquarters).

So Kenny will be in Miami on Friday, but will he be in town before that for the Hooters Super Pool Party where No Shoes Radio will be broadcasting from Feb. 2nd-4th? Only time will tell.

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?

Kenny Releasing “Ain’t Back Yet” from Summer In 3D

by Josh | 01.21.2010 | Posted In: Radio, Singles, Summer In 3D

The end theme for Kenny Chesney’s upcoming “Summer In 3D” movie is being released to radio on February 8th. “Ain’t Back Yet,” written by Craig Wiseman and Chris Tompkins, is “pretty much everything about what happened to me, especially with the music,” says Chesney.

“You get so focused on what you’re trying to accomplish, it takes over… and there’s nothing that’s going to come between you and your dream. For some people, it’s sports; for me, it was the music. You know, there’s a price you pay to do this, but look at what this is…

“Or as the bridge [of the song] goes, ‘Lookin’ back at the moments, black and white/ I wouldn’t change a thing that changed my life/ For the worse, for the better, man, I was gone, gone forever… The laughs, the smiles, the trails, the tears/ It’s hard to hate what got me here…’ Pretty much sums it up.”

Kenny has recently been in L.A. doing voiceovers and overseeing final production for “Summer In 3D” and his excitement for the project is very evident.

“To see that kind of passion… To be able to really see those faces where I can just stand there and take it all in… Now that is something I don’t see very much, and I go to a lot of shows, and watch a lot of crowds, but the folks who come out for us, well, it’s something I can’t explain, but I can’t wait for the fans to get to see themselves, to get to see what me and the guys get to see every night! It’s cool.”

“Anyone who knows me knows I’m not afraid of the work – and I very much care about the quality of what I do,’ he says. ‘Some things are harder than others. Some things take more time. But honestly, I can’t think of very many things I’ve been as fired up about finishing and getting out to the fans.The places these cameras go, the way the songs and the people are captured. This truly is closer than you can get with a ticket, but it’s also the chance to see things from a perspective that’s not just mine, but where none of us could ever go.”

“Summer In 3D” will hit theaters April 21st.
