He is a country singer, well known for his deeply introspective lyrics and intense songs. His concert tickets are always in short supply as fans seize any opportunity to listen to the man who sings songs that are soul searching and reflect their own lives. You have not heard Kenny Chesny, till you have heard him live. Chesny is an artist who has always identified with love's redemptive powers and his greatest gift as a singer is his ability to tap into and bring forth common vulnerability and honesty.

Born on March 26th, 1968 in Knoxville, Tennessee, Kenny Chesney was a regular kid, who enjoyed playing football and got his first guitar in his freshman year in college. He realized then, that he had a knack for music and what was even more important was that he enjoyed playing music and singing for people. While in college, he made regular appearances at local restaurants, clubs and bars playing rock, folk and blues. Chesney was an enterprising man and putting full faith in his music ability, decided to cut his own album. His 1000 copies sold out without any fuss and this prompted him to make a career out of his music. His move to Nashville proved fortuitous and he signed a record deal with BNA, a label under RCA and came out with the album "All I Need to Know" in 1995. The album was a resounding success, which paved the way for a successful musical career.

Post 1995, Kenny Chesney just kept climbing the peak, that was his musical career. He had smelt blood and just didn't let go. He built, considered and constantly worked hard, always believing in his music. His next album, "Me and You" went gold in 1996. His output was prodigious and in 1997, he came out with his platinum selling album, "I Will Stand". His double platinum album, "Everywhere I Go" came out in 1999. Kenny Chesney was dubbed presumptuous, when in 2001 he came out with "Greatest Hits". But his fans lapped it up as they had his other albums. His other albums include "No Shoes, No Shirts, No Problems" in 2002 followed by a Christmas album in the same year, "All I Want for Christmas is a Real Good Tan". His "When the Sun Goes Down" in 2004 won the CMA Album of the Year. In November, 2005 he released "The Road and The Radio", which followed the footsteps of his earlier albums and was an instant success.

Kenny Chesney has an inherent emotional appeal and writes and sings songs that reflect his own life. His loyal fans found in Kenny Chesney a mirror that reflects, the heartaches, thrills, joys, and lost nights of young fresh-faced America. His concerts have left audiences spell bound with his soul searching and honest music. His popularity can be gauged from the fact that he had even out sold U2 for the first half of 2005, in concert ticket sales. Fans queue up religiously for his live appearances and he has the distinction of being the only country artist to hold stadium - concerts in tough-to-crack cities like Boston and Washington DC. He has thus set his own benchmarks as far as live performances are concerned. So if you want to listen to an artist who outperforms his own exacting benchmarks, don't miss Kenny Chesney on Tour.
