Chesney and Moroney

What an amazing concert! It was my first time out at Blossom this season and an overall awesome evening out on the lawn. 

Just coming into the place, it was apparent this was going to be a huge show. Before we could even make it to the signs that read sold out, we came upon some major traffic. We shimmied through it all in decent time, and I made it over to the WQMX setup. 

I met some awesome listeners at the tent, and we invited everybody to enter to win Hank Williams Jr. tickets. The crowds flooded in continuously, and we packed up once Megan Moroney started playing.

She was amazing! Don't hate me, but I was honestly more excited to see her perform than the main act, and she did not disappoint. The only song I wish she would have played but didn't was "Sad Songs for Sad People." She did, however, play my favorite, "Sleep On My Side." She also played her brand-new song which just dropped at midnight, as well as some other great songs. To no surprise, she capped it off with "Tennessee Orange." 

After a fairly long intermission, as the sky grew dimmer, the ambient music came to a stop and something was clearly about to happen. The big screens lit up with a video of No Shoes Nation, Kenny Chesney and his fans, introducing the tour. Yachts, beaches, bikinis- you know the vibes. 

When that faded out, the stage lit up showing the full band with Kenny centerstage. They came in hitting hard with a loud sound and big overall presence. He played all the hits and sounded like a million bucks. 

It was a popping show for Blossom and a gorgeous night too. The dark clouds passed by and we all stayed dry, and it was temperate with a nice little breeze. We couldn't ask for better! Kenny kept laying down his best, Megan was fabulous, and we had a great concert night.

Be sure to check out our WQMX social media pages for all the pictures from the show. I'll be at Blossom next for Hank Williams Jr. coming up Friday, June 21st. If you're going to that or any other country concerts this season, maybe we'll see you there!

Here's Megan Moroney's brand new release:

Next From Kenny Chesney: Take Her Home

Kenny Chesney released his next radio single today! It's called “Take Her Home,” a loping rumination on the butterflies that flutter when you see “the one” through all the phases of falling in love, getting serious and building a life that makes you so much more. It is the essence of everything that is so easy to miss, but creates the biggest blessings and greatest happiness people can experience.

“When I heard ‘Take Her Home,’ I just laughed,” Chesney says of the song in a press release. “It was everything life is made of in less than four minutes. It’s true, honest and all the stuff that’s easy to forget. All those details and little moments? The deep cut Cheap Trick, the black-and-pink suitcase in the back of the truck, a 7 pound, 5 ounce baby? That’s what makes these kinds of life changes what they are. And it’s funny: no matter what stage you’re in, you really are always scared. That’s how you know it’s gonna be worth it.”

Kenny Chesney has released his next radio single and this one features tour mates Old Dominion! "Beer With My Friends" is a good time party anthem co-written by Shy Carter, David Lee Murphy, and Bryan Simpson. Kenny says that when he first heard the song, he knew it would be one that would truly connect with his audience.

New Music From Kenny Chesney!

Kenny Chesney had let fans know on social media that he would have new music out today (July 12), and he delivered with his new single "Tip Of My Tongue"! The song was co-written by Ed Sheeran, whom Kenny called upon to help him bring to life this idea he had for a song, but didn't know what to do with it.

The song is the first single from Kenny's upcoming 18th studio album. What do you think?
