Potter joins Chesney at Red Rocks
Thursday, June 9, 2011 – Kenny Chesney invited Grace Potter & The Nocturnals to join him for the July 8 show at Red Rocks Amphitheatre, the last of three sold-out shows at the Colorado venue. The three-night run, part of the 2011 Corona Presents Kenny Chesney's 'Goin' Coastal' Tour, will be Chesney's first performances at Red Rocks and the first time in five years that he's performed at any venue more than twice in a tour.
Potter is also featured on Chesney's newest single, You and Tequila, which shipped to radio in May and is currently bulleted at 16 on Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart. The duet is from 2010's "Hemingway's Whiskey" (BNA). The duo also shot a video for the song.
The 'Goin' Coastal' Tour has sold more than 1 million tickets, making it Chesney's eighth consecutive tour to reach that milestone. Chesney and Potter last shared the stage in 2010 when Chesney surprised Potter onstage in Nashville to sing the song during an opening set for The Avett Brothers.
Chesney will be joined by his When the Sun Goes Down duet partner Uncle Kracker for the final two 'Goin' Coastal' shows at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Mass. on Aug. 27 and 28.

CD reviews for Kenny Chesney
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", ...
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. ...
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 ...
