May 14, 2012 Kenny Chesney Reveals More Music from 'Welcome to the Fishbowl'

Haunting

NASHVILLE, TN - When Kenny Chesney releases his 13th studio album 'Welcome To The Fishbowl' on June 19 (BNA Records), he'll do what he does every day of his life: raise the bar on himself. Fans have already gotten one glimpse into the Fishbowl with the Top 10 single "Feel Like A Rock Star," the duet with 'Brothers of the Sun' Tour partner Tim McGraw. Today, Chesney unveils another layer with the contemplative and haunting "Come Over," written by Sam Hunt, Shane McAnally and Josh Osborne.

"'Come Over' is about two people who are as broken as their relationship is, when they realize deep down that their time together has probably ran its course, but they aren't really ready to emotionally or physically move on to something else," said Chesney. "They keep going back to each other because it's familiar. It's about emotionally feeling wanted in a moment, but it feels impossible to let anybody else fill that void. It's a really sexy song with lyrics that are incredibly universal."

The music video, directed by longtime collaborator and friend Shaun Silva, was filmed off the coast of Florida. "'Come Over' is the most intimate journey I've captured of Kenny in the 10 years we've been making music videos together," said Silva. "It's clear within the first five seconds of this video that Kenny is committed to his character in the video and was more than willing to open up to the vulnerabilities associated with this tortured love story. The music video was finished in black-and-white, delivering a strikingly timeless and cinematic result."

Fans will get the opportunity to hear songs from the new album live this summer with the 'Brothers of the Sun' Tour, with Chesney and McGraw. Kenny and longtime friend Tim McGraw take the stage together after a 10-year hiatus with an all-stadium, 20+ city tour that reaches coast to coast. The tour also features RCA Nashville artist Jake Owen, who is coming off back-to-back #1 singles, and rocker Grace Potter, who joined Kenny on last year's Grammy, CMA, ACM and CMT-nominated song, "You & Tequila."

"Come Over" is available now at iTunes.


May 14, 2012 Kenny Chesney, Drew Brees & Matthew McConaughey Wrap The Amazing Race Charity Event Onstage At House of Blues

NEW ORLEANS, LA - In a city famous for live music, Kenny Chesney and band took the stage last night at the House of Blues in New Orleans to wrap up the 3rd Annual "Amazing Race" Charity Event. The race is a signature event of the Brees Dream Foundation, which was founded by New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees and wife Brittany. This year, the event partnered with the Just Keep Livin Foundation, founded by Matthew McConaughey and fiancée Camila Alves.
 
Of the show Chesney said, "We've been in tour rehearsals for weeks now so it was great for us to get on stage and feel the energy and feedback from the crowd. Tonight was all about playing music to help celebrate this great event.  People in this town love music and helping out their neighbor and I was glad to be a part of it."
 
The intimate setting of the House of Blues allowed for some very special moments. A one of kind auction item allowing the highest bidder to sing on stage with Kenny raised ,000. The two sang his # 1 hit, "Somewhere With You." The night ended with Drew Brees and Matthew McConaughey uniting with Chesney on stage for an encore performance of Chesney's gridiron anthem, "Boys of Fall."  "Kenny has been a dear friend and always expressed interest in working with the foundation. This is such a wonderful way to end the race and his support means the world to us," said Brees and McConaughey.
 
With the 'Brothers of the Sun' Tour kick off only three weeks away, it's back to rehearsals for Chesney and crew. The all stadium, 20 + city tour with longtime friend Tim McGraw, begins in Tampa, FL on June 2. In addition, Chesney's highly anticipated 13th studio album, 'Welcome to the Fishbowl', is available June 19.
 
The Brees Foundation and the Just Keep Livin' Foundations partnered for the 3rd Annual "Amazing Race" which provides after school fitness and wellness programs in the New Orleans area.  All proceeds from the event will benefit the charities as well as go towards providing care, education and opportunities for children and families in Louisiana and the Gulf Coast.
