Kenny Chesney will appear on GAC’s Backstory this week with interviews from close friends, including tour mate Jake Owen and NFL coaches Sean Payton and Jon Gruden with many never before seen photographs from the singer’s personal collection.
The hour-long bio-doc chronicles Chesney as a lifelong sports fan, who realized in order to survive as an artist, he would have to rely on lessons he learned on the sports field.
“There were a lot of guys trying to be George Strait at that time of my first greatest hits album, and I was one of them,” Chesney said. “I can’t be somebody else and still be successful. I had to get better as an artist, a songwriter and a musician.”
Backstory: Kenny Chesney airs on GAC this Thurs., July 12 at 9 pm CT.
Chesney recently released his latest album, Welcome to the Fishbowl while on his Brothers of the Sun stadium tour with Tim McGraw. The singer also partnered with VEVO and YouTube to air the American Express Unstaged Concert in Wildwood, NJ.
