Matthews Guests at Chesney Concert

By Waldo Jaquith
In one of the weirder bits of news recently, several people e-mailed us this morning reporting that Dave Matthews guested at a Kenny Chesney concert last night. Chesney is wrapping up his summer-long tour with a two-night stand in Atlanta and, like Dave Matthews Band, apparently believes in a big finish. He's said to have performed "Where Are You Going?" and dueted with Chesney on a cover of Steve Miller Band's "The Joker." The country singer inspires a following that's similar in tone and tenor to DMB fans. One potential source of the odd coupling is country musician Pat Green, who opened five shows for DMB last month -- he likewise opened for Chesney throughout his tour, and is signed to Chesney's BNA Records. Thanks to Brandon J. for being first with the news.
