On September 20th, Kenny Chesney will pay tribute to the farmers of America by joining the all-star lineup of this years Farm-Aid festival. Kenny says “American family farmers are what this country is built on…and they have fed us and kept us strong and healthy for how many generations? Growing up in a small town outside Knoxville (TN), it was a big part of who we were – and it’s something we as a country shouldn’t lose. If I can help be part of that – whether it’s raising money, or awareness, or just letting those family farmers know someone knows and cares – well, that’s why I’m coming to New England.” Kenny joins Willie Nelson, Dave Matthews, Neil Young, and John Mellencamp on the list of already announced performers, with more announcements expected. Tickets for the show go on sale through all Ticketmaster locations today.
