One of the great things about music is what an amazing stressbuster it can be, and Kenny Chesney says that’s one of the things that he has in common with a lot of people who come to see him perform. And whether it’s Kenny himself or his band and crew, the experience of putting on a show and sharing the joy and the escape in music is a big part of what makes it all so cool. (AUDIO INFO BELOW)

  Kenny Chesney knows that people sometimes look to his shows as an escape, and Kenny says they’re an escape for him, too. (:35)
“I see that when people come to our show, ’cause I’m not naïve enough to know that everybody has problems, and everybody has a lot of stress in their life, and everybody has a lot of things goin’ on in their head. And what I want the fans to know is that I’m no different, and the band guys are no different. I mean, if they could hear the conversations that go on backstage during the day and on the buses at night, you know, it’s unbelievable, really. You know, so, as much of an escape it is for the fans to come to the shows and experience the music, it’s the same thing for us to be able to go do it, and I think that’s what makes it special.”
