HEART LIFE MUSIC: A Conversation with ETSU Alumnus Kenny Chesney
Saturday, November 1, 2025
Kenny Chesney grew up playing sports and loving music well beyond Knoxville’s city lights. At East Tennessee State University, he zeroed in on a dream, playing for tips, joining Jack Tottle’s Bluegrass Band and making trips to Nashville. HEART LIFE MUSIC is the story of that young man’s journey through unthinkable places, incredible moments, heroes, and refusing to give up no matter how tough, while always placing the song before everything.
Joined by award-winning music critic, New York Times best-selling author and longtime collaborator Holly Gleason, the pair will dig in on the pivotal moments, the hard choices and the fun he had along the way.
Every patron will take home a signed copy of Kenny Chesney’s new book, Heart Life Music.
Tickets range from $59.50 to $79.50 (+ tax & fees).
Tickets go on sale Friday, September 19, at 10 am EST.
