Kenney Chesney and friends come together in a tour that is about giving the new breed of country fan a full-tilt day of music that can truly define the summer.

It's not one, not two, but five different combinations to bring Kenny Chesney's 2008 Poets & Pirates Tour to 14 NFL stadiums across America. With a varying cast of musicians - picked for their intensity and ability to connect with a crowd - the Corona Extra-sponsored tour is about giving the new breed of country fan a full-tilt day of music that can truly define the summer.

Chesney's shows - known for the tailgating, cook-outs, touch football and Frisbee playing and general block party vibe long before the gates even open - are the ultimate good time. It has helped the singer/songwriter from Luttrell, Tenn., sell in excess of a million concert tickets for the last six summers - with 2007's Flip Flop Summer Tour being the second biggest tour behind the Police's reunion tour.

Good ol' Country Boy!

Being from the south, I enjoy music which speaks to the heart. Every song which Kenny Chesney sings does just that. He just has that down-home attitude which makes his music very believable. "No Shirt, No Shoes, No Problems" is one of my favorites! Only Kenny could sing a song about a "tractor" being sexy!

I just saw him for the first time and i am blown away....i was just a "normal" fan before, but now i am over the top. It is has changed me, just knowing he is in recovery and hearing the hope and faith in his songs inspires me to continue my journey of recovery. Thank You Keith for your inspiration.
