On Saturday, April 28, take me out to the ballgame – not for the Brewers, but for one of the first big concerts of the summer(ish) season, as Miller Park will host four-time CMA Entertainer of the Year Kenny Chesney and several of his friends (Thomas Rhett, Old Dominion and Brandon Lay) for his Trip Around the Sun Tour.

Why you can’t miss it
A Kenny Chesney show is one you’ll never forget. With a lineup this heavy hitting, you’ll probably be able to put this concert into your top five ... ever. Between Chesney and his openers, they’ve got more number one hits than you can count on your hands AND feet. So you’re in for a blast!
Plus, Chesney has a discography that’s vast and deep. You could listen to Chesney all day and neither repeat a song nor get bored. No Shoe Nation will know every word to every song – and if you don’t, don’t worry; you’ll learn.
Song starter pack
The Hit: "She Thinks My Tractor’s Sexy"
It’s hard to pick a Chesney hit, because, well, they’re all hits. But expect "My Tractor’s Sexy," a quintessential country song, to be featured. Who doesn’t love sexy tractors?
The B-Side Beauty: "Young"
Reminiscent of "Jack and Diane," "Young" will remind you of younger times when life was easy and (mostly) responsibility free. Even if it’s chilly at Miller Park, you’ll feel the warmth of this one in your toes.
Can't Wait to See It Live: "The Boys of Fall"
In all of her experiences, time was focused on writing which has been a passion since junior high school. A series of food service industry jobs both before and after law school taught her that bringing out the human side in any story is key to great storytelling and good writing.
A die-hard east side girl, you'll usually find Lora down by the lake or on the Oakleaf. She's an avid photographer, and sometimes storm chaser.
Hobbies include biking, gardening, cross country skiing, swimming, blogging, and of course working on her fictionalized autobiography--fictionalized, because whose life is really interesting enough to fill 400 pages?
