Kenny Chesney Unveils Full Track List For 21st Studio Album, ‘Silver Sands Marina’

Kenny Chesney is giving fans another look at what’s ahead with his highly anticipated 21st studio album, Silver Sands Marina, by officially revealing the project’s full track list, including the star-studded collaborations.

Set to arrive on September 25, the 11-song collection represents a new chapter for the country superstar. He says the album came together naturally as certain songs began to raise their hands and signaling that they belonged together. As more stories fell into place, the vision for the project became clearer and clearer.

“It’s funny how records show you who they are,” Chesney shared. “And Silver Sands Marina came together in a whole other way when we found the title track, and a couple others. When we went in and cut those last three tracks, I realized: it’s like a rock in your shoe, it’ll bother you until it’s right when you’re dealing in songs. But when it’s right, you know.”

Following the release of his current Top 10 country radio single, “Carry On” and the reflective title track, Chesney is readying fans for a project centered around honesty and embracing life’s highs and lows.

“Some of these songs are unlike anything people have heard, or haven’t heard in a long time,” he admits “Some of them go deep, some of them will make people turn it up, a few will make them laugh… But, together, I think they’ll remind them how great it is to be alive. Even on days where you need a song like ‘Carry On,’ we’re making the best of what we’ve got.”

Throughout his career, Chesney has seen firsthand how powerful music can be. As a result, he shared his belief that sometimes the best solution to any problem is simply to turn up the volume and sing along.

“Happy, mad, sad, it doesn’t really matter: music makes most things better. Even if it can’t solve your problem, it’ll make your heart a little lighter – and when it is feeling good, it’ll just take it to another level.”

Today’s announcement unveils the titles of the remaining unreleased tracks set to be featured on the album, including three collaborations: “Goldfish” featuring Lily Meola, “It Just Got Weird” featuring Megan Moroney and “What We Got Going On” featuring Colbie Caillat.

This will mark Chesney’s second time recording a song with Moroney following 2025 hit, “You Had to Be There.”

  1. “Burn My Boat”
  2. “Carry On”
  3. “Talkin’ Dirt”

Ashley McBryde Creates Full-Circle Moment by Inviting 11-Year-Old Singer Sawyer June to Make Her Grand Ole Opry Debut

What started as a memorable backstage meeting months ago has come full circle, with Ashley McBryde now helping 11-year-old Sawyer June achieve her dream of making her Grand Ole Opry debut.

The country star first met Sawyer back in February during a chance encounter backstage at the Opry. The young girl and her family were visiting town and decided to attend a show at the iconic venue, followed by a group tour backstage. McBryde, who was performing that day, noticed Sawyer in the crowd, singing along to every word of “Light On In the Kitchen.”

Later on, the two crossed paths backstage, where McBryde learned that the young fan was also a singer herself, leading to a special moment neither of them would forget.

“I stopped and said hello to everybody. And the front of the tour was the young girl and her mom and her dad. I went over and shook her hand, and I found out her name and they gave me some pecans from their farm, which I love pecans,” she shared at the time. “And then they let me know that she is a singer as well. And her mom said that she sings ‘Bible And A .44’ really well.”

The Arkansas native instinctively grabbed her guitar and invited Sawyer to sing a few lines of the song with her. The two sat together, effortlessly harmonizing and creating a special moment that McBryde said left her amazed by Sawyer’s talent and passion at such a young age. She later followed Sawyer on social media and promised to keep up with her musical journey.

McBryde kept her promise and was recently given the opportunity to share some very special news with Sawyer, during her recent visit to the WSM studio. The young girl was on-air with one of the show’s hosts, Eryn Cooper, who explained that there was someone calling in to speak with her.

McBryde’s voice appeared on the other end of the line as she asked Sawyer how her week was going. She also called attention to the fact that the talented singer recently performed in her Redemption Bar on Nashville’s lower Broadway.

“Oh that was awesome, that was amazing,” Sawyer said while still getting over the shock of realizing she was talking to the country star again.

“Us becoming friends is one of the best things that’s happened to me in a long time,” McBryde stated.

Sawyer echoed that sentiment saying, “It’s one of the best things that’s happened to me in a really long time.”

The “One Night Standards” singer went on to say that she had a very important question for the young artist.

She said, “As a proud member myself, and on behalf of the folks at the Grand Ole Opry, we’d love to invite you to stand in the circle and make your Opry debut. What do you say?”

Overwhelmed by the surprise, Sawyer took a moment to process the invitation before enthusiastically accepting. The emotional moment quickly turned into tears of joy, with Sawyer telling McBryde she was “the best friend I’ve ever had.”

“I told you I’m gonna watch you walk across that stage and here we are…you’re a star Sawyer June,” added McBryde.

“Thank you so much this is the biggest honor I’ve ever had in my life,” she responded.

The Grand Ole Opry has yet to share a date for Sawyer June’s big moment in the circle.

Audrey McGraw Channels Mom Faith Hill During Special Onstage Moment With Tim McGraw

Audrey McGraw is showing that the musical talent in her family runs deep.

Over the weekend, the daughter of country superstars Tim McGraw and Faith Hill joined her soon-to-be Country Music Hall of Fame dad during his Pawn Shop Guitar Tour stop at Jones Beach Theater in Wantagh, New York.

McGraw welcomed Audrey to the stage, where she delivered a stunning performance of her mother Faith Hill’s 2002 hit “Stronger.” With her powerful vocals and undeniable stage presence, Audrey left fans impressed, and many couldn’t help but notice the similarities between her voice and her famous mom’s.

Following the performance, fans flooded TikTok with comments praising Audrey’s vocals and resemblance to Hill.

“She sounds so much like her mom,” one fan wrote.

“She looks and sounds like her Mom! Wow, absolutely beautiful,” another added.

“Lord she looks just like her mom except with dark hair,” another person commented.

“Her mama’s twin,” another fan shared.

Martina McBride even weighed in. “This brings up so much emotion. I love your mom and you’ve always had “it” since you were like 6 and we were all doing karaoke in the Bahamas.”  

After the show, Audrey reflected on the unforgettable moment of performing one of her mom’s songs during her dad’s concert.

“I don’t have words to express the honor I feel to sing my mama’s song last night, and for it to be at dad’s show. To be your daughter is an infinite gift. I love y’all so much, I am always so proud and so inspired by you. Thank you for sharing this crazy life with us. Proud to be a road dawg forever,” she wrote.

Audrey also gave a shoutout to McGraw’s longtime band, adding, “Plus The Dance Hall Doctors, baby!!!! The sickest band out there!! Hell yeah. Family always. Love y’all.”

She later shared a special message for her dad, writing, “LOVE YOU DAD!!! Jones Beach rocked! Thanks for having me out there. So proud of you.”

Audrey McGraw is quickly making a name for herself. She released her debut single last year with a cover of Neil Diamond’s 1971 classic “I Am… I Said,” followed by her original song “Thunder.” Beyond releasing music of her own, Audrey has toured with Brandi Carlile and made an appearance in the hit Paramount+ series Landman.

Audrey’s appearance came at a special time for McGraw, who will soon be officially inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame alongside his fellow Class of 2026 inductees.
