Kenny Chesney launches new clothing line




Just recently Kenny Chesney launched his own brand of laid-back clothes called Blue Chair Bay. The clothes are made for both men and women, and have that worn-in comfortable look and feel to them. Chesney is even involved in the design process of the clothing line.

The laid-back, mid-priced collection includes khakis ($72.00), T-shirts ($35.00), and ball caps, all reminiscent of Chesney's own laid-back style. The items are meant to feel like "that favorite T-shirt that you've washed a lot that is kind of sun bleached... your favorite khakis, and your shirt that you've had forever," Chesney tells People magazine.

The line is currently sold at Fast Buck Freddies in Key West, Ocean Eddie's Resort Wear in Gulf Shores, Ala., and Levy's in Nashville, TN.

Kenny Chesney honest in the rain

Right after he had the almost-capacity crowd of about 16,000 swaying to his feel-good summer song "No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problem," country music star Kenny Chesney shared an honest-as-it gets moment with the fans at the state fair's Mohegan Sun Grandstand on Friday night.

"Anybody who watches TV knows that the whole world has problems," Chesney said. "Serious ones. We ain't going to solve a single one of them tonight."

The moment he took the stage, Chesney took the familiar pose that's worked its way into hearts and minds. Blue-jeaned legs apart. Sleeveless arms around the microphone. Bent-side-brimmed cowboy hat perched on his head.

And that distinctive voice of his rode a tasty wave put out by his 11-piece band.

Chesney delivered passionate love songs. The sing-along to "Anything but Mine" was loud and cool enough to raise goosebumps. "Down the Road" was a genuine glimpse at a family that wanted a man to be the very best he could for their daughter. Chesney said it's become one of his favorite ballad songs. "There Goes My Life" brought tears to the eyes of anybody who's experienced the love between parent and child.

He sang party songs.

"Beer in Mexico," well, the title says so much about the vibe.

Chesney told the crowd that he wanted every single person to remember every single word of his morning-after tale "Out Last Night." The fans cheered the directive.

Chesney met all the expectations for a big-time star, with a big video screen behind the stage showing live shots to aid folks way back in the grandstand with fast-paced clips.
