The Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum celebrated the opening of its “Kenny Chesney: Living in Fast Forward” exhibit presented by Blue Chair Bay Rum earlier this week.

The new exhibit chronicles Chesney’s path to stardom, from his early years playing in his university’s bluegrass band to becoming one of the top touring acts of this century, and includes instruments, memorabilia, manuscripts, awards, photos and more. The official exhibit playlist is available now here.

“It’s a lot to take in, and a lot of fun, heart, moments,” Chesney said after viewing the exhibit. “Seeing it all in one place like that, it’s like having your entire life, career, all the magic flying by your eyes – and man, what a trip it was. If I hadn’t been there, I might not be able to believe it.”

CEO of the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum Kyle Young spoke about Chesney’s commitment to knowing the exhibition would be able to cover all the aspects of his creative life and career before the East Tennessean took the stage. Citing the 225 exhibits the museum has mounted, Young praised “Kenny’s exceptional musical talent and insatiable creativity” when explaining Chesney’s commitment to giving people his best.

The “Kenny Chesney: Living in Fast Forward” exhibit is now open and runs until June 2027. Advance reservations are encouraged and ticket availability can be found on the museum’s website.
