Kenny Chesney played football in High School and College how about a NFL career.  He lovesw to work out with NFL teams when he playes in their stadiums.  In preparation for his Saturday, June 1 show at the CenturyLink Field, Seahawks Coach Pete Carroll invited the 4-time Country Music Association and 4-consecutive Academy of Country Music Entertainer of the Year to join the team for their Friday practice. "I met Pete a couple years ago at our show at the Tacomadome," Chesney says of the invitation. "We kept in touch, and when we were coming he asked me if I'd like to work out with the team. I didn't have to think about it... The answer was, 'Yes!'" So Chesney reported for afternoon practice at Virginia Mason Athletic Facility in nearby Renton, Washington for several hours of offensive drills. Beyond being the second largest NFL training facility, Chesney found himself ...

It was back in September that George Strait revealed his final two-year U.S. tour would be called "The Cowboy Rides Away Tour" with dates through 2014. Over the weekend, Strait played his final 2013 date in San Antonio, Texas to a packed house of over 73,086 fans at the Alamodome with special guests Martina McBride and Miranda Lambert - breaking his own attendance record previously set in 2010.  Back in March the show sold out in six minutes.  Saturday nights show marked Strait’s eighth time at the venue since he opened the facility. The venue is actually affectionately known as “The House They Built for George.” So it’s only fitting that the show sold out in record time.

Strait opened the show telling the crowd, "I've been thinking about this show all month long, and I have to admit, I was a little nervous...but I'm not anymore!" He then played ...

I've always said that country music stars are "The real deal"  They are always there to help where and when it's needed.  Kenny Chesney is no exception. Working with the Boston Medical Center Kenny Chesney has established the Spread The Love Fund to help the victims of the Boston Marathon bombing who needed prosthetic limbs and post-prosthetic care. All of Kenny's proceeds from the download of the song "Spread the Love" benefit the fund and the singer has also provided a way for people to represent their support for the victims. Chesney has created a dark heather gray T-shirt with his logo on it. The shirt's message reads: "Spread the Love: A Fund for Boston" and is positioned over the heart and across the back. All net proceeds from the shirts go directly to the Spread The Love Fund. Kenny says, "Obviously, there's the ability to make a much larger ...

Nettles and her husband, Justin Miller, welcomed Baby Magnus late last year and the singer took to her blog on Mother's Day to share not only the picture, but a very special message as well. Jennifer began the message by saying, "On December 6, 2012 my life was forever changed. I had a baby! Magnus Hamilton Miller was born healthy, hungry and with way more hair than I was expecting after seeing baby pictures of both me and my husband. Needless to say, especially to those of you who have children, the rhythm of my life is way different than the movement and pace before baby. In short, this baby is the boss of me." In her message, Nettles also talked about her new life as a mother and how much she has learned about ...

Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert married two years ago on May 14, and to celebrate the big anniversary a few days early, Shelton surprised his wife onstage in Bakersfield, Calif. on Thursday (May 9). He also gave fans a real treat.

As breakup rumors swirl in the tabloids everything looked rosey at Mirands concert last Thursday in California.  As Miranda’s concert was wrapping up, Shelton shocked the crowd and perhaps his missus by waltzing onto the stage and yelling “Surprise!” He then sang his new single, ‘Boys ‘Round Here,’ the video of which features his wife and her band, the Pistol Annies.

“Hope you liked the surprise!” Miranda tweeted after the show. It’s not clear if she was in on Shelton’s appearance from the very beginning, but whatever the case, it was good times for fans of the couple and of country music.
