One of contemporary American music’s biggest names, Kenny Chesney, talks about his memoir HEART LIFE MUSIC in which he shares the stories of a kid from small town East Tennessee with a dream fueled by the sports and music around him. When his high school football dreams came to an end, he found something more in college. He made an unexpected connection between people, life and songs from a barstool with a guitar and song. These are the stories of the unlikely game changer who became the sound of coming-of-age in the 21st century, made friends with his heroes, rocked stadiums and founded No Shoes Nation — a state of mind that encourages his fans to embrace freedom, live in the moment and enjoy life’s simple pleasures. Chesney appears in conversation with his co-author Holly Gleason, an American music critic, songwriter and music industry consultant, focused primarily on country and roots music.
