KENNY CHESNEY TO BE PRESENTER ON ESPY AWARDS
 Kenny Chesney will be a presenter on “The 18th Annual ESPY Awards” July 14th.
He's taken batting practice with the Boston Red Sox, been drafted and cut by the New Orleams Saints and is now in the final stages of co-producing and co-directing “The Boys of Fall,” a 90 minute documentary on high school football and its impact on the players' lives, featuring many of the biggest names in NFL and college football playing and coaching history. With that affinity for competitive sports, Kenny Chesney is a natural choice to present at the 18th Annual ESPY Awards, broadcast LIVE July 14 at 9 PM EST on ESPN.
“Obviously, I'm friends with an awful lot of coaches and athletes,” Chesney says, “so being able to do this, is being able to honor a lot of my friends - and that's always nice. Anyone who knows me knows that I've always tried to run my career like an athlete: have that discipline, that work ethic and gamesmanship… So I'd like to believe I understand how extraordinary these kinds of accomplishments are. To be able to be a part of honoring people who've achieved at this level… the honor is all mine.”
MEANWHILE...
Hemingway's Whiskey, Chesney's first new studio project in almost three years, arrives in-stores on Sept. 28. Look for a new single to debut at country radio Monday, July 12 and then see the singer/songwriter on the ESPYs July 14 live at 9 pm EST. TRACE ADKINS JOINS TOBY KEITH ON THE "AMERICAN RIDE TOUR"

These two superstars are certainly no strangers to touring together. Their 2009 joint "America's Toughest Tour" packed venues all across the country last year, becoming one of the most successful tours of the year.
With more than 40 dates running through October in the U.S. and throughout Canada, Adkins says he's really looking forward to getting back out on tour with Keith. "Toby and I are gonna go out there and rock the house and have a great time doing it."
