Kenny Chesney has expanded his book tour for his memoir, Heart Life Music, set for release on November 4th.

Three new dates, including Chicago (Copernicus Center), two Nashville dates (at Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum’s CMA Theater, respectively), and the Miami Book Fair, are set for November – following sold-out events in Johnson City, TN, and Boston on November 1st and 2nd, respectively. Chesney went on to announce five more book events in Philadelphia, Bergen, NJ, Beverly Hills, CA, Key West, and Tampa, Florida.

Kenny said of the new dates: “I wanted to go to the heart of the country, and Chicago sure represents that for me. I wanted to go to the place where all of my music came together, the songwriters and creative community were so generous and encouraging to me. Teaming with Parnassus Books for an event at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, yards from the turf where I’d played for tips when I arrived, is a dream come true.”

Kenny will go on to headline the Miami Book Fair at the Chapman Center at Miami Dade College on Nov. 16, and said of that stop:  “It’s an honor to be part of such a respected and iconic event. And the way I love South Florida – from West Palm Beach’s Coral Sky to the Tortuga Music Festival, Miami and the Keys – this is a whole other homecoming.”

Chesney wrote his memoir with longtime friend and collaborator Holly Gleason. He shared in a press release: “We were trying to create snapshots of my journey, vignettes of my soul, and lots of my friends since I started on this magic carpet ride. I moved to Nashville in January 1991, and here we are, talking about it in this book. Sitting here looking at the ocean, hearing these waves crashing, we can’t wait. Especially if you’ve been part of this journey, I can’t wait for you to relive it…and for those who weren’t part of this journey, we hope you take something from this and apply it to your life, we can’t for you to…read it.”  Preorder the memoir: HERE.
