Kenny Chesney is back at it with Siver Sands Marina, his 21st album. He has already released “Carry On” and the title track is connecting with people through it’s video. The rest of the 11 songs that make up Silver Sands Marina deliver a life-affirming, but honest take on how we all move through this world
“It’s funny how records show you who they are,” Chesney explains of his latest project. “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.”
The album will be officially released on September 25, 2026, and Chesney is ready to reveal the track listing for the new project. Chesney wanted bring out how they fit together and give listeners room to absorb what’s there.
“Some of these songs are unlike anything people have heard, or haven’t heard in a long time,” Chesney stated. “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.”
With “Carry On” well ensconced in the Top 10, the permission-to-live summer anthem that pledges “If it feels good do it, if it doesn’t then don’t…” sets the tone for an artist who’s built a career on positive energy, owning your emotions, lifting people up and offering a little encouragement when it’s most needed.
As Chesney says, “Sometimes the best medicine is just turning up the music, turning to the person next to you and singing out loud. 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.”
