What Is Kenny Chesney’s Silver Sands Marina About?
Silver Sands Marina brings together many of the themes Kenny Chesney has explored throughout his career: escape, connection, reflection, long drives, good friends and the kind of memories that stay with you long after the moment is over.
Chesney said the album began to take shape as he thought about “all the things music can be,” including the way a song can lift people up, open up a hard moment or bring people together.
“I love everything about music, but especially how it makes you feel,” Chesney said. “It can crack open a tough moment, lift you up, blow you up and make you laugh harder than anything.”
The project also arrives during a major year for Chesney, who was named a 2025 Country Music Hall of Fame inductee and recently returned to Sphere Las Vegas for his second residency.
Kenny Chesney’s Silver Sands Marina Songs

“Carry On”
“Carry On” was the first song released from Silver Sands Marina and served as the debut single from Chesney’s HEY NOW Records.
According to the album announcement, “Carry On” made history by becoming the first independent single, and only the third single overall, to lock out the full country radio reporting panel in its first week.
“Silver Sands Marina”
The title track, “Silver Sands Marina,” is the second song released from the album.
The song centers on a vivid place, a brief encounter and the kind of memory that feels frozen in time. Chesney said the song felt so real to him that he wanted to visit the place that inspired it.
“When you hear the song, it’s so perfectly drawn, you almost can’t believe it’s real,” Chesney said. “But, of course, it is a real place – located on Lake Winnipesaukee – where generations of families and friends have tied up their boats, checked in, enjoyed the water and being together.”

enny Chesney’s “Silver Sands Marina” Music Video
Kenny Chesney filmed the music video for “Silver Sands Marina” at the actual Silver Sands Marina on Lake Winnipesaukee in New Hampshire.
The video was directed by longtime collaborator Shaun Silva and was filmed around the motel, marina and pier. Rather than building a fictional setting, Chesney leaned into the real location that inspired the song.
The video captures the marina outside of its busiest season, giving the clip a quiet, reflective feel as Chesney performs around the property with his acoustic guitar.
