Kenny Chesney Announces 1st Two 2010 Appearances
Bayou Country Superfest + Bama Jam Are Slated for Chesney Shows


Greatest Hits II Available Now

     Nashville, TN: When Kenny Chesney announced that he would not mount a major tour in 2010, a lot of people jumped to conclusions… but anyone who thought that the high energy performer, who played a dozen NFL stadiums this year to over a million fans, would be able to spend a summer without getting out there and rocking doesn't know the 4-time and current Country Music Association and 4-consecutive Academy of Country Music Entertainer of the Year at all.

     With the dust from his Corona Extra sponsored Sun City Carnival Tour still settling, the Luttrell, Tennessean announces his first appearances for 2010:  EnterpriseAlabama's Bama Jam & Arts Festival and Baton Rouge's Bayou Country Superfest. Both are multi-artist regional festivals -  allowing the man who's scored 19 #1 hits to reach a large base of fans on his year off the treadmill.

     “I can't imagine a year not rocking the fans… not seeing those faces or hearing my songs sung back to me,” says Chesney whose latest single, “I’m Alive,” a duet with friend Dave Matthews, is Top 10 and available on his Greatest Hits II album out now.  “That is where I'm the most alive, and those people are such a big part of who I am and why I do this. To me, not being out there would be the worst thing I could imagine…

     “I honestly don't think people realize how much work goes into one of our tours: I am looking at technical stuff that needs building in November… I am working on video in December and January… then we start rehearsals so we can get the kinks worked out of each system in January - as well as rehearsing the band, so we can troubleshoot how the tech stuff is incorporated without sacrificing the music, because in the end, that's what people come for.

     “For us to be able to get out there and rock at a few of these festivals, it means we can do the big show people expect without having to put 6 months into getting ready for it. Me and the guys can come on out, play the songs as hard as possible and get to be part of everybody's summer… whether it's kicking it off at LSU's Tiger Stadium or getting June started at Bama Jam!.”

     Tickets for the May 30th Bayou Country Superfest appearance, including some special Golden Horseshoe tickets, the June Bama Jam  performance and the rest of his scattered 2010 shows are and will be available at www.kennychesneyfanclub.com -- your one stop connection for everywhere Chesney will be next year.

     “A summer without my fans? I can't even imagine it,” Chesney explains. “They are the reason I do what I do… and while I'm working on this next record, working on some special projects we'll be talking about in the coming months and staying on top of NoShoesRadio, I don't want anyone to think I've gone to the house or could go a year without getting out on some big stages and making music.

     “There's no way! And these two festivals are perfect! They're everything we try to do when we're out on our own tours: a good day, a lotta great music, a place for friends to come together and have fun! If we can do that, then I'd say I've maintained the connections that are so important to me!”

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.
