Chesney spells out '25 plans on TODAY, Fallon on Thursday

Tuesday, January 14, 2025 – Kenny Chesney will outline his 2025 tour plans with a stop at NBC's "TODAY" on Thursday during the 8 a.m. hour.

Chesney will appear that night on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.

Chesney will not perform, but, instead, will talk about what he says are special plans for this year. "I have always been one to let the music do the talking. I think when we're onstage, connecting with No Shoes Nation, nothing else really needs to be said. When they sing these songs back to me, that says everything.

"That said, this year is going to be unlike any other. This is one time when I probably do need to get out and explain exactly what we're up to. But for now, I can say this. I am incredibly ramped up about what we're in the middle of making happen for 2025. It's one of those things where you can't just throw it out there – so I am really glad we're getting to spend some time at 'TODAY,' then 'The Tonight Show.'"

"The thing about so many of my songs is they're pieces of people's lives," Chesney said. "Almost everyone can see themselves in there somehow. To me, singing people's reality and hopefully showing them how sweet life can be sets a pretty cool bar."

Chesney has been posting pictures from rehearsals in Nashville on social media. "There's nothing like No Shoes Nation when they come together. It's the greatest high there is," Chesney offers. "We've been pulling songs out that we've not played in years, so who knows?"

CD review - Here and Now deluxe After a storied run including eight Entertainer of the Year awards and two Greatest Hits albums (so far), Kenny Chesney was due for a setback. This one wasn't strictly personal, as the "Chillaxification" Tour got waylaid by a pandemic shutdown that scrapped most everything. The loss really belonged to the fans, as the original "Here and Now" record Chesney was supporting was a beauty – from the stirring "Knowing You" to the snarky "Wasted", ...
CD review - Here and Now For many years now, Kenny Chesney has been the number one yacht country artist; one never spotted far from an ocean or without an adult beverage in his hand. However, this album's title track expresses a much deeper perspective on life. "I must've sat on a dozen islands/Watched the sun sink into the sea." Previously, island living was the reason for life. Now, life's purpose is described as much more internal than external. Call it trading that pirate flag for a little more mindfulness. ...
CD review - Songs for the Saints Kenny Chesney's "Song for the Saints" is a step in the right direction for the popular country star. Inspired by the Hurricane Irma disaster, which hit Chesney personally as it destroyed a house he owned in the U.S. Virgin Islands, these songs are more serious and heartfelt than typical Chesney music. Best of all is "Love for Love City," a reggae duet with Ziggy Marley incorporating steel drums into an inviting island mix. It's followed by a cover of Lord ...
