The cover of Kenny Chesney’s book, “Heart • Life • Music.”
Kenny Chesney has only 10 stops scheduled on his upcoming book tour, and one of them will be in New Jersey. He will talk about his new memoir “Heart • Life • Music” at BergenPAC in Englewood, Nov. 4 at 7 p.m., with tickets going on sale Sept. 26 at 10 a.m.; visit ticketmaster.com.
HarperCollins is publishing the book. According to its website, in the book Chesney “shares the stories of a kid from small town East Tennessee with a dream fueled by the sports and music around him. When high school football came to an end, he knew there must be something more. In college, Kenny Chesney found himself on a barstool with a guitar and an unexpected connection between people, life and songs. His heart caught fire. With Nashville’s vibrant creative scene, characters, legends and places now long gone from the city he encountered in those early days, Chesney explores the quest to find himself as an artist and a man, as well as a sense of home anywhere there’s an ocean. These are the stories of the unlikely game changer who became the sound of coming of age in the 21st century, made friends with his heroes, rocked stadiums, and founded a No Shoes Nation.”
Chesney will discuss the book at BergenPAC with Holly Gleason, the music critic, author, publicist and songwriter who co-wrote the book with him.
Gleason co-wrote Chesney’s 2008 hit “Better As a Memory,” under the name Lady Goodman. And she co-wrote Miranda Lambert’s 2023 book “Y’all Eat Yet?: Welcome to the Pretty B*tchin’ Kitchen.”
