<p><em>ONLY 2014 Show Mixes New, Old, Surprise Guests &; Whole Lotta Fu</em>n</p>
<p>Orange Beach, AL/Perdido Key, FL (August 16, 2014) &#8212; There was a pirate ship, inflatable crafts, yachts, shrimp boats, skidoos and paddle boards when the No Shoes Nation took the beach behind the legendary Flora-Bama Lounge. At straight up 5pm, <strong><a title="Kenny Chesney" href="https://stubhub.prf.hn/click/camref:1100ljXyr/pubref:WPSChesney/ar:CMNBAutoLink/destination:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.stubhub.com%2Fkenny-chesney-tickets%2F">Kenny Chesney</a></strong> walked down the strut in orange cargos, a grey t-shirt and a ball cap, strummed a chord and sang, “Sittin’ here at the Flora-Bama/ Bout to open up a big ole can o’/ good times&#8230;”</p>
<p>The crowd of over 40,000 – coming from as far away as Oregon, Ohio, South Carolina, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Arizona – was primed, singing along to the song just released as an Instant Grat Track to celebrate the stadium show without a stadium. For Chesney, who took 2014 off the road to concentrate on making <em><strong>The Big Revival</strong></em>, hearing the crowd so loud moved him. “Man, when those people kicked in and started singing ‘Flora-Bama’ back to me, that just hit me in the heart,” says the man <em>The Los Angeles Times</em> called &#8220;The People’s Superstar” of the crowd’s response. “A year without touring takes me away from that, and those fans&#8230; whether they know it or not&#8230; inspire me. So having spent the year writing and recording, that was like plugging into the source.”</p>
<p>Evidently&#8211;Chesney’s 32-song set lasted two and a half hours. Mixing old favorites “How Forever Feels” and “Don’t Happen Twice,” acoustic numbers “Old Blue Chair,” “You and Tequila” and the acoustic-turning-full-impact “When I See This Bar,” he also brought out frequent co-writer <strong>David Lee Murphy</strong> as a surprise, trading verses on Murphy’s hits “Dust On The Bottle” and “Party Crowd.”</p>
