With an opening video welcome from the New England Patriots organization that included Robert and Jonathan Kraft, head coach Bill Belichick, quarterback Tom Brady, tight end Rob Gronkowski, wide receiver Cordarrelle Patterson, offensive linemen Marcus Cannon and David Andrews, plus Patriots Broadcast Analyst Scott Zolak and members of the Massachusetts State Police Mounted United, the greater Boston area was all in for Kenny's 18th and 19th shows at Gillette Stadium.
After an evacuation and 45-minute storm delay, Kenny hit the stage at MetLife Stadium at 10:12 pm determined to make up for lost time. As Beer In Mexico surged through the speakers, the songwriter/superstar from East Tennessee strode on stage, fully in command of a band who'd come to play hard.

Few artists love writing songs, finding songs and playing songs as much as Kenny.

With his Trip Around the Sun Tour heading into its final weekends, all of those songs are now certified heavy metal.
When CMTs Katie Cook talked of friendship, dreams and hard work, the entire third floor of ACME Feed & Seed burst into cheers. As waiters passed trays of hot chickennwaffles and fried green tomatoes, David Lee Murphy and Kenny were being feted for the feel-good summer anthem Everythings Gonna Be Alright, written by Murphy, Chris Stevens and Jimmy Yeary.
After the romping coming together in a divided world Get Along broke Billboards Country Airplay Chart record for the Most Country No. 1s by an artist, Kenny returns to country radio with the life-changing Better Boat. A song of grace in the face of humanity, it empowers without overpowering.
When Kenny made Songs for the Saints, he wasnt thinking about chart positions, country radio or how these songs would play in his live shows—he was worried about the people of the Virgin Islands. Riding out a Category 5 hurricane without the same kinds of safety nets people on mainland take for granted, he understood the peril, and he channeled it into Song for the Saints, then Love for Love City.
It came from his heart, fueled by the anxiety of waiting and watching as the Caribbean islands where he makes his home were battered by Hurricane Irma, then Maria. For Kenny, Songs for the Saints wasnt an album created for hit singles or critical acclaim, but to process his own emotions and to let the people on the islands known as the Saints know they were not only not forgotten, but their spirit was being held up as a source of inspiration.
When Kenny released Live in No Shoes Nation, a two-disc live recording (Blue Chair/Columbia Nashville), people thought he was crazy. Who buys records of concerts they've already been to? But Kenny, who'd been listening back to the members of No Shoes Nation shouting, singing and cheering along over the previous decade, was blown away by the passion in venues ranging from Gillette Stadium to Red Rocks, the Rose Bowl to Asbury Parks famed Stone Pony and he wanted the fans to experience the rush, the energy and the passion he does every night listening to their voices.
