It comes as no surprise to me when a country star does something good, charitable, just plain ol' big-hearted. Such was the case recently when Kenny Chesney brought a very special fan up on stage with him in Wichita.
Kenny Chesney's accomplishments as a performer are second to none — as evidenced by his current "Goin' Coastal" tour, and the dazzling live sets documented in his new concert film, Kenny Chesney: Summer in 3-D. But Chesney's no slouch when it comes to songwriting, either — in fact, we think Chesney's live show wouldn't be anything without his powerhouse new-country songwriting as its foundation.
As our Kenny Chesney contest continues on Facebook – sign up for a chance to win a flight to Green Bay to meet Chesney and see him play on June 11 at Lambeau Field – we're running down some of the highlights of Chesney's prolific career. In his nearly two-decade run at the top of the country charts, Chesney's produced over 30 top 10 hits (not to mention his four Entertainer of the Year nods from the CMA), and his recent achievements are nothing to sneeze at, either – among them his current 'Goin' Coastal Tour' and the release of 'Kenny Chesney: Summer in 3-D.'
Despite all those successes, there are things even Chesney's fans don't know about the star - so we've put together this list of five things about the country star that would probably surprise you.
April 12, 2011 On the twelfth day of April, my true love gave to me...Nothing. It's April. On this day in 1947, a genius, David Letterman, was born. If I had time, I'd give you the Top Ten reasons why that's a good thing. In 1992, Euro Disney opened. It was later renamed Disneyland Paris. Yes, Paris Hilton got her own Disneyland. My favorite ride was the one where you put on a dog costume and rode around in a giant purse. And 12 years ago today, the #1 song was...
April 7, 2011 A week of April already in the books. Wow! This day in 1927 saw the first distance public television broadcast--from Washington D.C. to New York City. Back then Big Bird was called, you know, Little Bird. In 1954, President Dwight D. Eisenhower gave his "domino theory" speech during a news conference. He concluded that they were black, rectangular, and had little white dots on them. And 7 years ago today, the #1 song was...
This month, we're giving you the chance to fly to Green Bay to see Kenny Chesney and hang backstage with the country star.
Visit our contest page on Facebook and you can win a flight for two to Green Bay, tickets to Chesney's Goin' Coastal tour stop at Lambeau Field on June 11, 2011, and a backstage pass to meet the country star.
We're so excited, we assembled these five Kenny Chesney videos, which we think perfectly illustrate the singer's visionary style. Chesney's mind-blowing tour productions and his 3D concert special are something to behold — but we think his eclectic music videos are what really establish the country star's unique sensibility.
April 4, 2011 Happy Monday, everybody! I'm sure it is in the Taylor Swift camp. Let's take a look at April 4th. On this day in 1850, Los Angeles, California is incorporated as a city. Shortly thereafter, Lindsey Lohan's great-great-great-great grandmother was arrested for drunk driving while speeding down Sunset Boulevard in her covered wagon. In 1964, the Beatles occupied all of the top five positions on Billboard Hot 100. I guess they were popular. And 4 years ago today, the #1 song was...

March 11, 2011 Kenny Chesney 2011 "Goin' Coastal" Tour starts next week. Remember his hit "Young"? There is a new verse Kenny left out when he originally recorded the tune. He says, "Ten years later, it's funny how a song catches up with you." Phil Vassar wr
