Man, this economy is really putting the hurt on the music industry.
I mean, it was just last year that Kenny Chesney was selling out NFL stadiums.
Now he’s back to playing small clubs. Monday night, it took Kenny, his full band and guest appearances from Brad Paisley, Brett James, Mark Collie and David Lee Murphy just to sell out the cozy little Exit/In. And the tickets were only $10.
Wait a moment… I’m being told that Kenny has actually already sold out a bunch more of those stadium shows for his Sun City Carnival tour this summer, and that he’s doing Heinz Field in Pittsburgh, Soldier Field in Chicago and a bunch of other places. Last year he was the biggest ticket-seller in America, and this year is looking just fine for him.
The Exit/In show was actually something he did for the fans as part of his annual Keg in the Closet dealio. That’s where he and his band roar through bars in college towns, playing unannounced (except to some Web-savvy fans) throughout the Southeastern Conference.
