Throughout the past couple decades, Kenny Chesney has created a revolutionary way of touring like none other in country music. With the dedication fan base of his No Shoes Nation following him along to every stadium or amphitheater show, Chesney’s unprecedented stage persona has become one to admire.

Compiling together a lengthy tracklist of live performances, Chesney decided to bring the concert experience into the hands of all fans with the release of his Live in No Shoes Nation project later this fall. Fans will be able to go back in time to hear some of their favorite live moments throughout Chesney’s career on the new endeavor just as if they were standing and cheering in the crowd at one of the country singer’s iconic shows.

“When you’re on stage, in the rush of it all, it hits you so hard and so fast. You take it in, but you never really digest it,” Chesney said of the tour experience. “Once the noise in my head died down, I went in to relive some of those amazing nights I’d had with everyone in No Shoes Nation, and the more I listened, the more I wanted to hear. And the more I heard, the more I knew I needed to share these moments with all the citizens of what we call No Shoes Nation, so they could hear how freaking awesome they sound.”

Chesney selected the special performances from pop-up bar gigs to his massive sell-outs at football stadiums to represent his on-stage career for the Live in No Shoes Nation compilation. Although he’s garnered countless hits and released a multitude of albums, it’s the fans that remain constant in Chesney’s life and he’s showing his gratitude through this forthcoming release.

“So much has happened over the last 10 years,” he reveled about the fans. “But the one thing that remained consistent, that’s been there no matter what, are the people of No Shoes Nation. They’ve always been why I do what I do, but listening to all these shows over the last several months, I realized they’re really the heartbeat to everything me and my road family do.”

Live in No Shoes Nation will hit shelves October 27.
