/by

Kenny Chesney’s hand-painted school bus will be on display in downtown Nashville July 22-26 in celebration of his new exhibit at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. The bus was featured in his “American Kids” music video and The Big Revival album cover.

Fans can engage in a photo opportunity with the bus, win prizes and play summertime games in the park. During select times each day, attendees will also be able to print their own Chesney exhibit keepsake poster from Hatch Show Print.

The “Kenny Chesney: Living in Fast Forward” exhibit will be open from July 23, 2026, until June 2027, and is included with museum admission. It will chronicle 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. The exhibit will include instruments, memorabilia, manuscripts, awards, photographs and more, including Chesney’s high school football varsity jacket and jersey, the Fender Concord acoustic guitar Chesney played throughout college at East Tennessee State University and after he moved to Nashville in the early 1990s, the cassette tape on which Chesney recorded a demo of “When She Calls Me Baby” and more.
