Kenny Chesney’s ‘Heart Life Music Tour’ To Visit Chicago, Nashville, Miami

Kenny Chesney has added three more events for his upcoming book tour for Heart Life Music in Chicago, Nashville, and Miami in November.

“Heart Life Music: the Book Tour“ will go to Chicago the day after the book’s release on Nov. 5 for an event at the Copernicus Center. Chesney will then head to Nashville Nov. 6 for two book talks at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum’s CMA Theater. On Nov. 16 he will headline the Miami Book Fair’s opening weekend.

“I wanted to go to the heart of the country, and Chicago sure represents that for me,” says Chesney. “I wanted to go to the place where all of my music came together, the songwriters and creative community were so generous and encouraging to me. Teaming with Parnassus Books for an event at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, yards from the Turf where I’d played for tips when I arrived, is a dream come true.

“And we were asked to be a headliner for the opening  of the Miami Book Fair. I feel like we’re going back to the Super Bowl, which when you read the book, you’ll get the reference. It’s an honor to be part of such a respected and iconic event. And the way I love South Florida – from West Palm Beach’s Coral Sky to the Tortuga Music Festival, Miami and the Keys – this is a whole other homecoming.”

Chesney will be joined for the conversations that explore the story and process by two-time LA Press Club Music Criticism and Entertainment Journalist of the Year and co-author Holly Gleason.

The previously announced Johnson City and Boston events are sold-out. Tickets for Chicago and Nashville will go on-sale this Friday (Sept. 26) at 10 a.m. EST, while Miami will go on-sale on Oct. 13. More information for each event can be found here.

Nov. 1- East Tennessee State University Martin Center for the Arts in the ETSU Foundation Grand Hall- Johnson City, TN
Nov. 2- Back Bay Events Center- Boston, MA
Nov. 5- Copernicus Center- Chicago, IL
Nov. 6- Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum’s CMA Theater- Nashville, TN
