Side Trip:<br />

I<br />

realized very quickly last Thursday night<br />

that Kenny Chesney has a serious fan<br />

following.<br />

Folks around us knew the songs from the<br />

first two bars of introduction.<br />

Fans we heard interviewed<br />

live on No<br />

Shows Radio claimed<br />

this was their 12th<br />

and 13th time to a<br />

Kenny concert.<br />

A man I saw in the<br />

lobby was sporting a<br />

custom T-shirt proclaiming<br />

this as his<br />

24th Kenny Chesney<br />

concert.<br />

Seeing this performer<br />

in concert has<br />

been on my radar for<br />

MYRNA<br />

WAGNER<br />

several years, but his tour dates and our<br />

calendar just haven’t worked out until now.<br />

I got my tickets for the Sioux Falls event<br />

early — so early that my husband forgot I’d<br />

invited him out on a weeknight date.<br />

Kelsea Ballerini provided a great opening<br />

act, sporting some serious red fringe boots<br />

and getting the crowd on their feet.<br />

We never sat down again after that — the<br />

energy level was so high you really couldn’t,<br />

nor did you want to. Despite a full two<br />

hours of music we still didn’t hear every<br />

Kenny Chesney hit. He worked the crowd,<br />

every inch of the stage, utilized video displays<br />

and graphics and only slowed down<br />

long enough to bring his opener back to the<br />

stage for their duet “My Hometown.”<br />

His energy level put me to shame and<br />

made me feel old despite our similar ages.<br />

To top it all off at the end of the night,<br />

after two encores, the manager met him on<br />

stage and traded him his guitar for a Sharpie.<br />

And then Kenny Chesney signed dozens<br />

of autographs for the fans lucky enough to<br />

watch the concert from the front rows.<br />

That’s a performer who appreciates his<br />

fans.
