Kenny Chesney Slates New LP ‘Silver Sands Marina’ For Fall

/by

Kenny Chesney is gearing up for the release of his 21st album, Silver Sands Marina, on Sept. 25 via HEY NOW Records. He’s offering fans a second taste of the upcoming new project with the title track, available today (June 24).

Chesney produced the new album with Buddy Cannon, and the debut single from the collection, “Carry On” became the first independent single and only the third ever to lock out the country radio reporting panel in its first week. The album epitomizes everything the superstar embodies: positive vibes, good humor, long drives, moments and memories that last a lifetime, tossing away what pulls you down, and a sense of how sweet life truly is.

Songwriters contributing to the new project include Matraca Berg, Shane McAnally, Brett James, Jessie Jo Dillon, Tenille Townes and Adam Wright, and special guests Colbie Caillat, Lily Meola and Megan Moroney appear as well.

“I love everything about music, but especially how it makes you feel,” Chesney explains. “It can crack open a tough moment, lift you up, blow you up and make you laugh harder than anything. When I started thinking about all the things music can be, a few songs came in – and Silver Sands Marina, as it now exists, took shape. Some great players, guests who really fit the songs, but especially some places I’ve never gone.”

Chesney returns to TalkShopLive on July 15 to dig into the recording process for the new album, what he hopes people take from it, and what he’s learned about music’s power to bring people together and transform even the toughest moments.
