Kenny Chesney Takes No Shoes Radio LIVE to the Hard Rock
Ambassadors of Rock Time Square Kick-Off Show Broadcast @ 6 EST 9/15
Uncle Kracker's Set, Pre-Show Build-Up Part of This Live Experience

“I’m Alive” w Dave Matthews Climbs Higher – Greatest Hits II Available Now

     New York, NY: With the Orange Beach, Alabama sign on of Kenny Chesney's No Shoes Radio (www.noshoesradio.com) creating such a frenzy that all the listeners managed to freeze the server, the response to Kenny Chesney's soundtrack to his life, his world, his musical reality has been unrelenting. Having broadcast his launch night concert, the 4-consecutive Academy of Country Music and 4-time and current Country Music Association Entertainer of the Year has been looking for another show special to broadcast to the 100s of 1000s of people tuning in each week.

     In New York City to kick-off his participation in the Hard Rock CafĂ©'s Ambassadors of Rock program - one which saw Nine Inch Nails in Singapore, Black Eyed Peas in Japan, The Killers in Buenos Aires and the two day Hard Rock Calling in London featuring Bruce Springsteen, Neil Young, Dave Matthews Band, the Pretenders, Ben Harper, Fleet Foxes and Gaslight Anthem - Chesney will play a decidedly scaled back set at the Hard Rock's Times Square location. Given both the intimacy of the night and the scaled back nature of the arrangements, the man on track to sell over a million tickets for his 8th summer in a row loved the juxtaposition - and decided to beam it out across the internet.

     “Part of the idea of the station is to bring people deeper into this music,” Chesney explains, “to give them more or a sense beyond the records and the big shows. We play stuff from my iPod, demos, things they'd never hear otherwise… and for but a very few hundred people, this Hard Rock show would certainly be one of those moments: something we'd all talk about how cool it was for years, knowing almost nobody got to hear it. Now, they can.”

     In addition to Chesney's entire performance, No Shoes Radio will also broadcast former tourmate/duet partner Uncle Kracker's entire set as well. And it all kicks off at 6 pm Eastern when Jon Anthony and Mark - “Tambo” - Tamburino start playing music, calling the walk-up play-by-play and do impromptu interviews from the Hard Rock.

     “It's like being there,” Chesney says, “only you don't have to leave wherever you are! Set your browser, kick back or get back to work and join in all the action. As the year's closing down, this is gonna be a pretty cool contrast to how big some of the shows have been - and we're gonna have a couple surprises. So for anyone who's ever wanted to get into one of those tiny invite-only shows, this is your chance.”

     With only the late-added college town Bloomington, IL US Cellular Coliseum play Sept. 17 and the year-ending Lucas Oil Stadium show in Indianapolis on Sept 19, the Ambassadors of Rock show in Times Square is the perfect pause before the final charge. In a year of a record-shattering stadium plays, it's bringing the music back down to the music that grounds the Luttrell, Tennessean for the year.

Kenny Rogers featured in Billboard’s 50 th  Anniversary of Adult Contemporary chart   Rogers’ Ranks Sixth-Best All Time and Fourth-Best Male with 28 AC Top 10 hits Nashville, TN (August 25, 2011) – According to Billboard, Kenny Rogers’ 28 Adult Contemporary Top 10’s are sixth-best all-time, and fourth-best among men, trailing only Elton John, Neil Diamond and Elvis Presley.  Kenny Rogers' feats on the AC chart include 47 hits, tying him with Barry Manilow for seventh-most in the chart's history. No core country artist has crossed over more titles to AC. Rogers has scored eight AC No. 1s. Rogers: "I remember when [the AC charts] were established, I thought it was so cool. I've always been a believer in the strength of the song. My problem is I'm a country singer who's had a lot of other musical influences, so my stuff is going to tend to be more AC. That's always been my slam in country music, that I was never a true country artist, even though &q

They call her..The Bare Naked Bandit..29 yr Old Lee Grace Doherty

ARRESTED now in Colorado...but what a story and week for 2 brothers and their stripper sister! Text messages and tweets by three fugitive siblings who shot at a police officer and robbed a bank reveal a dangerous mindset and a firm bond between the siblings, "We've certainly seen their mindset when... They shot at a law enforcement officer outside of Tampa Bay, Fla., and when they fired inside that bank in Valdosta, Ga. But these additional texts and tweets have given us additional insight," FBI Special Agent Stephen Emmett told "Good Morning America" today. " We are concerned and feel that they are going to continue and cause problems to say the least for law enforcement." Ryan Dougherty, 21; his sister Lee Grace E. Dougherty, 29; and half-brother Dylan Dougherty Stanley, 26, have been on the lam since Aug. 2 when they shot at a police officer attempting to pull their white Subaru Impreza over for speeding. A few hours later, they robbed a bank in G
