Kenny Chesney and Megan Moroney Concert!!

/ Ed Armstrong
I was excited to see Kenny Chesney in concert. I have heard his music for years, but never seen him in person. However, I was a bit unsure about an outdoor concert in Phoenix in July!!

This is an outdoor venue with most seating in the open. It was a nice layout, but the weather was hot. It was 112 degrees when I first arrived at my seat.

Megan Moroney started playing first. I knew her name, but could not have said what her songs were. I was quite impressed with her talent. Many people wanted to buy merchandise with Megan’s name on it!

Megan is very talented and I thoroughly enjoyed her singing!!

Her singing is wonderful and she related well with the audience!!

Her sparkly guitar was fun to watch glitter with the lights!!

As soon as Megan finished singing a huge monsoon storm moved in with lightning, wind, and later rain. Everyone was hoping the storm would quickly blow through and the concert could keep going. However, sadly, after waiting 2 hours, the concert was cancelled.

Here I am waiting the the concert to resume. There were 20,000 people in attendance and everyone was patiently waiting to see Kenny Chesney. It is sort of funny because I brought this umbrella for shade from the sun (in addition to my big hat) and I ended up using it when it started pouring rain. Incidentally, I bought this umbrella years ago in Scotland. It is similar to the Armstrong plaid and it has sentimental value to me.

The concert was rescheduled for the following night and I think almost all 20,000 people returned to see Kenny Chesney play and sing. It was a great concert. He is very high energy and kept everyone in the audience engaged with him.

The bass guitar player was a woman from Austin, Texas. She was extremely talented!!

Kenny’s songs were wonderful!!

I really enjoyed seeing Kenny in person!!

They played one hit song after another!!

The drummer is from South Africa and I loved watching him play!!

All the guitar players were fantastic!!

After his last song, the band kept playing and Kenny signed items from the fans. I was sad when it ended. Two hours went by very quickly.

It was fun to watch the band play as Kenny was signing items from the audience. This is a very talented group of people!!
