Kenny Chesney releases the trailer for his 3D movie “Kenny Chesney:Summer in 3D”

Soon you will get to see Kenny Chesney in true-to-life form on the big screen which is cool, but even cooler is that it will be in 3D! Kenny is releasing a trailer today that previews his 3D special “Kenny Chesney:Summer in 3D” in conjunction with Sony Pictures. The film is expected to give fans the full concert experience as if they were really there. (I wonder if that comes complete with flip-flops, sand and beach balls?)

The film is expected to hit select theaters in April of 2010 which will help tide fans over until Kenny gets back out on tour. According to Chesney: “It’s amazing to me how intense this footage is. It’s me in a way I’ve never seen myself – and I can’t wait to share it with my fans. I put all of myself into my shows, a lot of heart and sweat and stuff most people might not think is all that important, but I do… and always have. This film captures every little detail in a way that makes it even more important than I thought it was when we were working on it, and it makes my fans even more in my face than when I’m onstage, which is great! So I am completely thrilled that there’s something we’re able to give people a taste of the film with. Obviously, it’s not 3-D, but it’s pretty invested in what JOE THOMAS, the director, is trying to help us capture. APRIL is a long way away, and I know I don’t want to wait that long to let people get a peak at what we’re doing.”

Zac Brown Band inspires colleagues as rumors fly that Kenny Chesney has signed on to help save the Georgia Theater!

The Georgia Theater is in trouble and needs your help!  Earlier this year the theater suffered a devastating fire, and is now in need of serious restoration funding. The historic venue has been home to infinitely famous bands such as R.E.M, the B-52’s, Drive By Truckers, and of course, the Zac Brown Band.

That is why ZBB has stepped up to coordinate a star-studded fundraising event to help rebuild the theater! An all-star lineup of country music artists have signed on to perform at a benefit show at the Fox Theater in downtown Atlanta, GA on October 30th. Proceeds from the event will go directly to rebuilding the historic theater.

Confirmed guest performers already include Little Big Town, Joey + Rory, Shawn Mullins, Aslyn, and Oliver Wood. We also have word from a VERY reliable source that Kid Rock, Kelli Pickler, and now Kenny Chesney have also been added to the list!

Kenny Chesney has announced that he will NOT be planning a 2010 summer tour.

Kenny Chesney sat down with Entertainment Weekly to discuss his decision to take touring out of his 2010 schedule:

“I’m not quitting,” he told the magazine. “It’s just a short pause. It would be easy to keep doing it, because it’s fun and the fans are unbelievable. … Then you realize that at some point you’re missing a part of your life. … I need to recharge creatively and get off the clock of having to be somewhere … and having to keep juggling all these things. And people needing answers. I just felt like this year it finally hit me that I need to get reconnected with my family.”

This is a surprising move for one of the top-grossing acts in country music, although not completely unheard of. Kenny Chesney’s last 2009 tour date will be September 19th at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, IN. Chesney stated he will have some performances in 2010, most likely acoustic performances, just not the big shows.

“Something to feed my soul,” he said. “I’ve given a big part of my soul for this for so long, and nothing has really been filling that up. It seems like in the last couple of years, I’ve been on an empty tank. And that’s gotta change.”

Kenny Chesney is cited for confiscating a woman’s camera during a show at Gillette Stadium, but is the reasoning behind his action really outdated?

Kenny Chesney fans all over are reading the news today that Kenny confiscated a woman’s camera at a show in Foxborough this last weekend, which brings to light a serious question aimed at both concert-goers and organizers alike: In this day of camera phones, miniature HD camcorders, and the wild spread of social media buzz and hype, how realistic or even beneficial is it to try policing these devices at concerts?

Seriously, seeing live footage of a concert only makes fans more excited to see the artist themselves, and you WANT fans to come to concerts! That’s where the real money is! Not in record sales, not in iTunes downloads, not in awards shows. A person video-streaming from a show to perhaps their Twitter or Qik account becomes a personal recommendation for that artist to all of their friends, fans and followers. Where I come from that’s called FREE PRESS! Social media is one of THE most powerful tools in a modern marketing arsenal for any artist, and concert officials are trying to block it by banning video devices at shows? Passionate fans become your brand ambassadors so why stifle them? Why prevent them from creating a positive buzz about your live performance?

Of course the only semi-decent argument I’ve heard is that in the event something goes wrong at a show, you may not want video proof of it. Do they mean the obviously-staged Tim McGraw fan removal (gee, it was great for press the first time, let’s do it again!)? Or the recent outpouring of sympathy and support for those hurt in the Canadian concert stage collapse last week? Either way, I think the rules regarding video recording at live concerts need a little updating. Limit my allowable devices. Only block pro gear. Require registration. But don’t stop me from being a dedicated fan who spreads the word about my favorite artists!
