Kenny Chesney reveals very personal project, country music tours of 2026 | Music City Minute

Kenny Chesney has stepped back into the studio to record his first audiobook, “Heart Life Music.” The “Get Along” singer (who is being inducted in the Country Music Hall of Fame next month) is excited to take fans on an intimate journey through his 25-year career. Chesney’s new book is slated to be released November 4. Around that same time, the “Pirate King of Country” will embark on a small book tour with dates scheduled in Johnson City, Tennessee and in Boston, Massachusetts.

Speaking of tours, a few of our favorite country acts have announced their plans for 2026. Starting January 15, Blake Shelton will kick off his Live in Las Vegas residency, which will run through January 31. Rascal Flatts has confirmed nearly two dozen dates between January and February. Bailey Zimmerman’s Different Night Same Rodeo tour will pick up in February and run through the end of June. Finally, Riley Green’s Cowboy As It Gets tour starts April 16 and will run through August 22.

I’m Sheena, and that’s your Music City Minute.
