Hello everybody! As you can see, the site hasn’t been updated for almost 2 months. That’s because I’ve decided to take a break from the site and put it on a short hiatus. I’ll start updating the site soon, probably early next month, but for the next month of so, it will be on a hiatus. So no new updates or photos will be added during that time. I may find that I want to start updating before next month. So there is a small possibility that I’ll start updating sooner. But I just wanted to let everybody know. So you don’t think I’ve abandoned the site or anything. Take care! -Eric
So, unfortunately Kenny went home empty handed last night at the ACM Awards. Carrie Underwood took the prize for Entertainer of the Year, Brad Paisley took Male Vocalist, and Blake Shelton took Vocal Event. I do have some photos from last night’s show, though. I got some backstage photos and photos of him performing. Captures and videos coming soon. Enjoy!
Kenny appeared on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno on April 15th to promote his upcoming movie Kenny Chesney – Summer in 3-D and I just added 600+ captures of Kenny from the appearance. Videos of his interview and his performance will be added soon. Enjoy the captures!
It’s the eve of the Academy of Country Music Awards, and Nashville has blanketed Vegas with its twang: Gary Allan played poolside at the Mandalay Bay; Sugarland did a Dr. Pepper-sponsored show at the MGM; Miranda Lambert rocked Fremont Street. But the night’s most anticipated event was the premiere of Kenny Chesney: Summer in 3-D, the concert film shot as Kenny blew up America’s biggest football stadiums last year, opening nationwide April 21.
Celeb friends like Morgan Freeman, Matthew McConaughey, and Dierks Bentley were on hand — as well as Chesney’s fun-loving crew and touring band — and the audience packed two theaters at a local multiplex. Kenny appeared in both to personally introduce the screenings. “Everybody in these two theaters has been a part of our life,” he said. “This film documents our life, and thank you for being a part of it. I’m glad we documented something that shows the relationship with the fans, and I’m really proud of it.”
At heart, Summer in 3-D is an offering from the leader of a nation to his fans in exchange for a summer off. “It was a long, hot summer, and it couldn’t have happened without you,” says the film’s opening title card, before the screen explodes into a country-fried take on the same technology used to such eye-popping effect in 2008’s U2 3D. Summer features swooping wide shots of the giant venues intercut with closeups that allow for a guitar-pick’s-eye view of shows in Seattle, Pittsburgh, Philly, Boston, and Indianapolis, five nights swirled together into a greatest-hits set list including “Beer in Mexico,” “Cleveland,” “Young,” and “Out Last Night.”
In between blocks of songs come photo montages overscored with dreamy voiceovers in which Chesney talks about music, fans, and his love of the islands; we see him as everything from a kid in a football uniform to a megastar who hangs out with Springsteen. Two moments stand out as truly special: footage of an infamous show in Dallas last spring where rain is pouring down so hard it looks fake; and the closing performance of “Better as a Memory” from the final show in Indy, where Kenny’s tears are pouring down so hard he can’t sing and the crowd has to carry most of the song. Chesney told EW his favorite moment in the movie is “the very first chorus of ‘Summertime,’ when the stadium lights up and you see everybody in sync, just because I think it shows the energy and the passion of the fans. That’s my favorite part of the show every night. That gets me incredibly fired up.”
Director Joe Thomas (who’s helmed live projects for Fleetwood Mac, Tom Petty, and Dave Matthews) said he set out to emulate some aspects of his favorite concert film, Martin Scorsese’s The Last Waltz. “The raw nature of how it was shot and the fact that it was shot from the band’s perspective is really what we were gunning for,” he said. “When Martin did that film, it didn’t matter if there were a few camera people in the way. It was organic, and it was exactly how it happened. There’s [camera] cranes in here. It makes it kinda cool.”
Now that he’s captured the stadium experience on film, is Chesney worried he’s made his concerts unnecessary? Nope. “There’s nothing like live music,” he told EW. “That’s the one thing that will never go out of style.” So what makes Summer in 3-D worth your entertainment dollar, especially if you saw the tour in person? “The extra D,” cracked trumpet player Steve Herman.
Kenny Chesney may have taken the year off from touring, but that doesn’t mean he has been staying home, either.
The country superstar spent several weeks this winter in L.A. editing his new concert film Kenny Chesney: Summer in 3D, which hits theaters April 21, and managed to squeeze in his first-ever Italian vacation.
“We went to Capri, Positano and a little town called Ravello,” Chesney says. “I ate a lot of bread, drank a lot of wine and ate some really good cheese. And it was great. It’s somewhere I’ve wanted to go my whole life, but I never afforded myself the time to do things like that. Now it’s one of my favorite places in the world.”
Though taking the time off “was the hardest decision I’ve ever made,” Chesney says, “I’m so glad I made it. I haven’t felt this content in a long time.”
The drive that had made the singer the biggest North American ticket seller of the past decade had also taken a toll on his personal life. “Someone said ‘You sure do give a lot of your life to this’ and I said, ‘No, this IS my life.’ There’s no room for anything else. And that’s gotta change.”
Step one has been spending more time with the people closest to him. “I’ve been getting reacquainted with people who you shouldn’t have to get reacquainted with: my family,” he says.
Chesney, 42, is also opening himself up to romance. “If I want a relationship, I have to give to it too.”
Not that the singer is racing down the aisle. Although he has been dating Nashville nurse Amy Colley since 2008, “it’s not like I’m taking a year off so I can get married again,” he says. ” ‘Cause that could or couldn’t happen.But I want to put myself in a position to do it if it did happen. I want to put myself in a position to have a relationship in my life.”
He also has more travel on the horizon. “I want to go to places I’ve never been,” he says. “China? The Pyramids?”
“Who knows? I want to go explore,” Chesney says. “I want to taste everything. I want to take a big spoon, dip it in and taste it all.”

BNA/NASHVILLE star KENNY CHESNEY will launch an expanded version of his iPHONE app to iTUNES on APRIL 9th. The app, designed by NASHVILLE-based ALOOMPA, will now allow users to play CHESNEY’s “No Shoes Radio” even when the app is closed and have better sound quality.
CHESNEY said: “The beauty of an a team like ALOOPMA is they don’t stop dreaming once they turn the app over. They got that to me – as long as there’s music, there’s something living and breathing, and we can respond based on that! When the fans gave us feedback, told us what they wanted beyond what they’ve got, they were totally into figuring out how to do something that other people just weren’t doing, which has always sort of been our way.”
CHESNEY will also be on “The OPRAH WINFREY Show” on APRIL 9th, the same day the expanded app is available.
