Tim Hensley Marks Start of Chesney Tour with In-Store
Category: Music
When Kenny Chesney wrapped his high impact, higher energy opening show of his much anticipated Poets & Pirates Tour, most of the band wandered off into the night. But not acoustic guitarist/tenor singer Tim Hensley, who was met following the concert by members of the Mohegan Sun's security team and taken to Spin Street Records to sign copies of his bluegrass/acoustic project Long Monday.
"You know, you just get off stage from something that's as intense as Kenny's show is – and then you gotta start running in a whole other direction," laughs the good naturedly musician whose also done extended stints with multiple Gammy-winner Ricky Skaggs and CMA and ACM Female Vocalist of the Year Patty Loveless. "But you kinda use that to keep going… to get into some fresh clothes and get over to where the people are waiting for you."
With posters up and plenty of CDs in the rack, Hensley met fans, posed for pictures and signed CDs for well over an hour. In spite of being well after 11:30 when he hit the retail outlet, many fans waited for the Cincinnati bluegrasser. With over 62 Long Mondays being signed - it's obvious that this merge between noted singer/songwriters, traditional Appalachian music and modern bluegrass is connected with a chunk of Chesney's fan-base who're curious about the veins of acoustic music and more classic bluegrass.
"That people would show up is pretty great," says Hensley, genuinely pleased by the crowd that filled the store. "They told me we sold more CDs than Grand Funk Railroad when they played here… and I don't even know that these are bluegrass fans! But some people showed up with the record, which was cool… and you know, just to meet folks who like the music, well, there you go."
Chesney's tour photographer and video crew were on-hand to capture the event, which ended after midnight. As for the man who co-produced the record with CMA Song of the Year winner Buddy Cannon, he offers, "I'm tickled for Tim. He has been a big part of my sound and my music – and we have had so much fun singing and picking with him after shows! Although these in-stores really could cut into our bus lot-jamming after we get done every night."
With Rodney Crowell's Ridin' Out The Storm moving up 6 places on the bluegrass charts, the album that features guest appearances by Loveless, Vince Gill, Sonya Isaacs and Melonie Cannon is continuing to find it audience. As the Poets & Pirates Tour continues its trek across country, the man who just made his Grand Ole Opry debut will no doubt be popping up here and there in support of his solo record… something he'd dreamed of back when he was playing in bars along the Ohio/Kentucky border.

Tim Hensley - Grand Ole Opry April 4th

Tim Hensley Makes His Opry Debut April 4
Year of Dreams Coming True Realizes One More: The Grand Ole Opry
Nashville: April 1, 2008 - He recently debuted in the Top 10 debut on the Billboard Bluegrass Chart with Long Monday, his first album ever… He has national airplay for Rodney Crowell’s "Ridin’ Out The Storm," Monday’s lead single…He has accolades from Vince Gill on the song, "What A Sight To Behold"… He just performed at Ernest Tubb’s Midnight Jamboree… and now into his third decade as a journeyman musician, Tim Hensley will play the Opry in support of his own music.
It’s kinda hard to believe," says the acoustic guitar/tenor singer about the prospect of hearing his name called on the country music’s greatest tradition, the Grand Ole Opry. "I mean, when you’re looking at the history of this music, the Grand Ole Opry is the one thing that runs through all of it… It doesn’t matter who or when or how, it’s the one place I think everybody wants to play."
Play the Opry Hensley most certainly has. First with bluegrass traditionalist Ricky Skaggs, where he replaced Carl Jackson as the acoustic guitar/high harmony singer in Kentucky Thunder. Then with Patty Loveless, who was in the midst of her meteoric rise to Female Vocalist of the Year. Most recently, he has been there with 6-time Entertainer of the Year Kenny Chesney, whose band Hensley is still an active part of it.
"I kinda have to pinch myself," admits the good natured man from Cincinnati, Ohio. "So many things that you kinda dream, but maybe don’t think would ever happen… they’ve been happening. It’s hard to describe, but then I look around and I know it’s real. And, I mean, my goodness… I’m playing The Opry! That’s just the best feeling in the world."
Hensley ought to know. In addition to making Long Monday, which the John Prine-penned title track, Carl Jackson’s "Lonesome Dove," John Scott Sherrill’s "Five Generations" and the traditional "Workin’ On A Building," as well as Crowell’s "Ridin’ Out The Storm" as lead single, he reprised the Appalachian gospel of a song he learned from his grandparents – "Two Coats" – with Loveless. Other guests included Vince Gill, Sonya Isaacs and Melonie Cannon.
With Chesney’s Poets & Pirates Tour about to kick-in, the April 4th appearance gives Hensley the opportunity to celebrate his own record in the most exciting way possible. Along with an XM Radio interview and an appearance with Bill Cody on WSM (April 3 at 8:00 am), in addition to an upcoming feature in The Tennessean, Long Monday is being noticed by a lot of the right people.
It took his entire life of playing to get to this record, but now that it’s here, Tim Hensley isn’t going to let a moment pass by with enjoying it. After all the years, the songs, the miles, it’s Hensley’s turn to stand onstage at the Grand Ole Opry House and sing his songs. April 4 is everybody’s chance to hear.
