What no Nashville show!!

Oops! I stand corrected. He is doing Nashville. I must say that he is playing some big cities. How does Fargo ND get 2 shows? Who in the hell is booking his tours?

Be As You Are
Songs From An Old Blue Chair
Liner Notes
I have always been drawn to the ocean…
Even as a little kid, going to Myrtle Beach with my family, there was just something about the pull of the sea that drew me out of bed, kept me in the water long past dinner - and made a kid from the Smokey Mountains feel strangely settled and at home.
Maybe somebody way back in my family tree had a love affair with the tropics - somebody who felt their heart beat a little deeper when they were sitting on the beach, under the stars and a full moon with a gentle wind in their face, just staring into the horizon. Or maybe they were kicked back in a little bar, listening to music drifting through the warm air, telling stories with whomever else might be setting there, nowhere to be, nothing to prove, just the night and the people enjoying the quiet and the laughter in that moment.
The Old Man and The Sea is one of my favorite books. That tug he felt always felt right to me - even before I found the blue water of the Caribbean. Because there's something about the islands that holds you, that soothes you, that melts the stress, ambition and expectations in ways you can't explain.
I've spent the vast majority of the past several years in the islands. When I wasn't on the road, I was on my boat - drifting to nowhere, just feeling the waves and writing songs about the freedom I found there. It's a lifestyle, this not needing to be anywhere but there… and it's really become the way I walk through the world no matter where I am.
Down there, everything moves to its own time. A single moment can last for hours, days can just stand still- or be over just like that. It makes no sense, you think nothing about it. It's just… easy.
It's a place where old weathered flags move slowly with the wind, hanging from the different bar ceilings - each with a different story and personality from years past. Where you can walk up to a bar from a beach you've just sailed into with wet money in your pocket, order something and start a tab by the name of your boat.
Where no matter what your truth is, who people think you are, where you're from or what you do, you can strip down to your basic self. You can lose yourself, find yourself, reinvent yourself, simply be as you are.
A friend of mine in the Virgin Islands once told me, "If you live here, you either become a bartender, a boatie or a bum…" I've become friends with people who fit each of those, and so many more. These are really amazing characters, unique individuals with big hearts and deep souls - who'll welcome you in and make you feel like you're home.
Over countless days over several years, that's just what they've done for me. Watching the sun move across the sky, anchored down on some remote island, hanging out in a funky little bar where the rum drinks flow, burgers get eaten and the counters are littered with locals, tourists and the folks caught somewhere between the two.
I've been blessed, absolutely. And some of the greatest treasure I've found are the people across the jewels that're the Caribbean islands. Many of them have not only inspired these songs, but literally been the songs - and they've shown me a way to live, love, laugh, breathe, which is where these songs have come from. I can tell you: it's a good way to be.

So this album goes out to anyone who lives their life in flip-flops or who wish that they could. To all those people who've touched my heart with their carefree sense of life, French kissing the moment and living life as it comes - and to anyone who's ever signed the guest book on my boat. If you have, then I know you've shared an important part of my life. And to the fans, whether you know it or not, you've signed my heart, and that is the reason I wanted to share this part of my life with you…
Be As You Are, it's all that you need to get by.
God Bless

I am really looking forward to this new album coming out.

YO FOURPLAY, ANGELBEECH, RHUMCHUM.....................are we ready???

Thanks MSU!!

As for the schedule - I'm guessing most of those must be college towns, since the IL dates aren't in Chicago.

Anyone know off hand where Moline is? I better make myself a bigger concert budget!

Did Buffett write this for KC?

Never mind - I found it by the Quad Cities and Augustana College. Wonder if the Cubbies will be attending?

I'm glad he isn't coming to my town on the first leg of the tour. I've heard that the second leg will be with Pat Green That's the show I want to see, rather than Gretchen Wilson. I'm sure Kracker will be with him through the whole tour though

Kracker is only on the first leg, Pat Green will replace him for the second, Gretchen is on the whole tour.
The States with two shows on the first leg, are more than likely part of the Mini"keg in the closet "tour, where Kenny plays a college bar and tickets only go onsale a day before the show.
The major cities and venues will be the second leg......and it leaves the door open for possible stops at Turner Field and Wrigley!! Just fanning the flames. haha
