Kenny Chesney shares stories from SONGS FOR THE SAINTS with SiriusXM

Kenny Chesney releases SONGS FOR THE SAINTS, his 18th studio record, July 27. Released on Blue Chair/Warner Music Nashville, the project was written and recorded as Hurricanes Irma and Maria were battering the U.S. and British Virgin Islands.

Chesney, who wrote five of the songs, created the album in part as response to the devastation and in part as a way to celebrate the spirit and resilience of the people of the Caribbean islands. All proceeds from SONGS FOR THE SAINTS will go to Chesney’s Love for Love City Fund, earmarked to help with the costs of restoring life on the islands.

Featuring Ziggy Marley, Mindy Smith and Jimmy Buffett, the far-ranging set captures the essence of the 8-time Entertainer of the Year’s inspiration. As he says, “It’s not just an album about the places that save you, it’s a group of songs about the strength we all have inside and the joy makes life so great.”

Kenny discusses where the track “EVERY HEART” comes from in this exclusive behind the scenes video. WATCH IT BELOW!

Chesney is also giving fans of his SiriusXM channel No Shoes Radio (Ch. 57) and SiriusXM’s The Highway the exclusive opportunity to hear SONGS FOR THE SAINTS and learn how the album came together and why it benefits Chesney’s Love for Love City Fund.
