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.
