Kenny Chesney: A Journey Through Music and Life
Kenneth Arnold Chesney, better known as Kenny Chesney, was born on March 26, 1968, in Knoxville, Tennessee. Raised in Luttrell, he grew up with deep roots in Southern culture and an appreciation for music that would later define his career. Of English and Irish descent, Chesney is the son of David Chesney, a former elementary school teacher, and Karen Chandler, a hair stylist. He has one younger sister, Jennifer Chandler.
Chesney's passion for music began early. After receiving his first guitar as a Christmas gift, he taught himself to play and developed a love for performing. This interest led him to East Tennessee State University, where he studied advertising and became involved in the ETSU Bluegrass Program. During this time, he recorded a self-released demo album titled Good Old Boy At Heart in 1989, which helped fund the purchase of a new guitar through its sales.
