Kenny Chesney is at the stage of his career where he can perform just about anywhere he wants. And that’s exactly why he’s downsizing a bit for next year’s “I Go Back Tour.” Instead of massive stadiums in major cities he’ll go to places he hasn’t visited since he was a younger man. Quote, “I want to take this band and these songs to cities we played on our way up. Let’s call the tour ‘I Go Back’, and do just that. He adds, quote, “I remember coming up, the craziness of those dates. Markets where people used chain-cutters to get onto the lawn because we were sold out. That’s a kind of energy that should never be left behind.” He’s also bringing fellow East Tennessee native Kelsea Ballerini along as the opener. Quote, “She understands everything about where I come from, because she’s from there too.” At this point, the tour runs from March into July, but more shows will be added. You’ll find dates and details at KennyChesney.com.
Even Miranda Lambert’s recipes are bad-ass. She has new cookbook coming out next April called, “Y’all Eat Yet?”. Here’s how she describes it. Quote, “I was blessed to be raised by two generations of hell-raising, hard working women who knew how to make people feel good. This is a look into our lives and the food we’ve made along the way.”
Jackson Dean knew “Don’t Come Lookin'” would be featured on “Yellowstone”, but seeing the actual episode as it aired, blew him away. Quote, “I was in a hotel room in Santa Fe, watching it on a computer. “They played a like minute and a half of my song, [and] then it goes to Kevin Costner, and I’m like, ‘Oh my God, there’s a piece of film in the world that has my song playing and Kevin Costner in it at the same time. This is insane.”
