Potter Appears On Chesney’s Welcome To The Fishbowl Out 6/19

NASHVILLE, TN — When Kenny Chesney cold-called Grace Potter in 2009
to join him on “You & Tequila,” which went on to be a CMA-Award
winning, Grammy-nominated, platinum- selling song, the two clicked
immediately. Their musical bond continues with Grace Potter & The
Nocturnals on the ‘Brothers of the Sun’ Tour, with Chesney and Tim
McGraw and on both of their new albums.

With his longtime co-producer Buddy Cannon, Chesney produced “Stars”
and “Ragged Company” on the deluxe version of Potter’s The Lion The
Beast The Beat album which was released this week. Chesney first heard
“Stars” in February. “We were hanging out in her kitchen and she grabbed
her guitar and played me a verse and chorus of the song which she was
still writing,” recalls Chesney. “I love the creative process. I was
there when the song was born and we nurtured it through the studio and
onto the record. That’s pretty cool.” Chesney and Alison Krauss also
provide background vocals on the song.

“Ragged Company” first appeared on Potter’s 2006 debut album and they
reprised the song with guest vocalist Willie Nelson. “It was an honor
to work with Willie again,” said Chesney, who co-produced Nelson’s 2008
album Moment of Forever.

Chesney’s Welcome To The Fishbowl album is released next week and
features Grace Potter on the song “El Cerrito Place.” Of Potter’s vocals
on the song Chesney said, “Grace brings that raw emotion out, and you
feel the pain of the song that much more.”
Fishbowl has already yielded the Top 10 duet “Feel Like A Rock Star”
with friend and tour mate Tim McGraw and the new single, “Come Over,”
which is one of the fastest rising singles of his career.
