Chesney and Steve Miller Band Team Up For CMT Crossroads

by Josh | 02.16.2010 | Posted In: Related Artists, Television Appearances

According to TVbytheNumbers, Kenny Chesney is teaming up with the Steve Miller Band for an upcoming episode of CMT Crossroads:

Longtime friends, Miller and Chesney have shared the stage in front of thousands during summer concerts, performing classic Miller hits. Now, the two will perform each other’s songs and swap stories for what will be another landmark episode of CMT Crossroads. Chesney is making his second appearance on the series, his first premiered in October 2003 with John Mellencamp.

With songs such as “Rockin’ Me,” “Jet Airliner,” “The Joker,” “Fly Like An Eagle,” “Livin’ in the USA,” “Take the Money and Run” and “Abracadabra” blues/rock singer-songwriter-guitarist Steve Miller is one of the cornerstones of classic rock. Born Milwaukee, WI, Miller grew up in a home frequented by musicians such as Charles Mingus, Les Paul and T-Bone Walker and formed his first band at age 12 with friend Boz Scaggs. After stints in Madison, WI and Chicago, IL blues bands, he moved to San Francisco and The Steve Miller Band (known initially as the Steve Miller Blues Band) emerged from San Francisco’s summer of love with a sound that was distinctively different from its peers. With his 1973 No. 1 hit, “The Joker,” Miller moved into a different category and by the time he had released his multi-million-selling albums Fly Like an Eagle and Book of Dreams within a year of each other, Miller was playing to sold out crowds at football stadiums and universally recognized as one of the great names in the golden era of rock. Over 40 years later, the band has sold over 25 million records and is still a mainstay of the summer concert season. Miller’s album tracks have been used in movie soundtracks and commercials all over the world and his greatest hits album is one of the best-selling records of all time.

This won’t be Kenny’s first Crossroads… in 2003, he taped an episode with legendary rocker John Mellencamp.

Chesney Performs at Super Bowl Post-Game Party

by Josh | 02.08.2010 | Posted In: Special Appearances, Sports

According to a couple of articles, Kenny Chesney performed at a private party Sunday night at the Saints hotel in Miami.

Chesney was all over Miami the past few days. His internet radio station No Shoes Radio broadcasted live from South Beach, while Kenny appeared on ESPN’s Mike and Mike on Friday morning and NFL Countdown before the game on Sunday.

Update – NOLA has more details on the party:

Next up is Chesney, a FOSP – Friend of Sean Payton. Chesney watched the NFC Championship Game from Payton’s suite in the Superdome, and attended the coach’s post-game locker-room speech.

During the Super Bowl, the singer cheered the Black & Gold from his own suite in Sun Life Stadium. Payton requested Chesney play the post-game party.

And so at 3 a.m., a guy who has filled the Indianapolis Colts’ Lucas Oil Stadium takes the stage of a Saints-centric hotel ballroom.

In a white T-shirt and Saints cap, Chesney lights into “Living in Fast Forward.” “The Saints just won the Super Bowl!” he says, as if there could be any doubt.

Payton joins Chesney and announces his intention to soon drink beer in Mexico. Thus, Chesney performs “Beer in Mexico.”

The coach and tight end David Thomas take turns at the microphone. Strief, kicker Garrett Hartley and other players roam the stage, reveling in the moment, their moment.

The audience chants “Tro-phy! Tro-phy!” Payton hands over the hardware to outstretched hands.

And suddenly the Vince Lombardi Trophy is crowd-surfing.

After 30 minutes, Chesney calls it a night. He and the coach embrace.
