One of the hottest tickets this summer, and adding a 9th consecutive tour to Chesney’s career selling 1 million tickets, brings in LOTS of fans. But this summer, Kenny and Tim have country singer, Jake Owen with them but in between a Barefoot Blue Jean night and Live like you were Dying, is something genius, Grace Potter and the Nocturnals.
Grace, who had never met Kenny Chesney until 2 years ago when he called her out of the blue and asked her to record a single from his Hemingway’s Whiskey album, You and Tequila. “Within the first three words of the song, I was in love,” Grace says. “A couple of days later, I flew down to Nashville, and the rest is history.”
Kenny followed up You and Tequila with another Grace Potter duet on his new album, Welcome to the Fishbowl, titled El Cerrito Place.
What does Grace think about the reception this summer touring as “The little Sister of the Sun, “Overall it’s positive, but I do think there’s a lot of baffled people,” Grace says. “I look on some people’s faces and there’s a look of utter confusion. And I look on other people’s faces and there’s pure joy and they’re dancing around like crazy.”
