Kenny Chesney’s ‘Silver Sands Marina’ (HEY NOW Records)
Kenny Chesney’s launching his first album from his new label, HEY NOW Records, from Silver Sands Marina on Sept. 25.
The new collection was produced by the superstar and his longtime collaborator, Buddy Cannon. It features its lead single, “Carry On,” which is one spot away from country’s top 10.
“I love everything about music, but especially how it makes you feel,” Kenny says. “It can crack open a tough moment, lift you up, blow you up and make you laugh harder than anything. When I started thinking about all the things music can be, a few songs came in – and Silver Springs Marina, as it now exists, took shape. Some great players, guests who really fit the songs, but especially some places I’ve never gone.”
Megan Moroney, Colbie Caillat and Lily Meola all collab with Kenny on his 21st album, which he’ll promote July 15 on TalkShopLive, the exclusive home for autographed copies of the record.
The title track of Silver Sands Marina is out now.

We come to this official trailer for magic.
Warner Bros. Pictures has released the official trailer for Practical Magic 2. Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman once again star as the magical Owens sisters in this highly anticipated sequel to the 1998 film Practical Magic.
Along with Bullock and Kidman, who are both producing the project, the film stars Joey King, Lee Pace, Maisie Williams, Xolo Maridueña, Solly McLeod, Stockard Channing and Dianne Wiest.
Practical Magic 2 follows the Owens sisters as they “must confront the dark curse that threatens to unravel their family once and for all in a must-see cinematic event of fun, magic and mayhem,” according to an official description from Warner Bros.
The trailer finds all of the Owens women living in the same picturesque white home by the water from the first film.
“No magic is stronger than sisterhood,” Channing’s Franny says in the trailer. “Cast by fate, tested by time and never broken.”
We also see the daughters of Bullock’s Sally Owens and Kidman’s Gillian Owens dreaming about romantic love — and doubting the family curse. That doubt causes heartbreak when Kylie (King) finds her boyfriend dead.
“Kylie said she’s gonna go fix the curse,” Gillian says later in the trailer.
“This will lead her into the dark path,” Franny responds. “If you want to find her, you have to work together.”
Susanne Bier directed the film from a script by Akiva Goldsman and Georgia Pritchett. It’s based on the novel The Book of Magic by Alice Hoffman.

Deep Purple has shared another preview of their upcoming album, SPLAT!
The band has released the new single “Guilt Trippin’,” which, according to a press release, “imagines God and Charles Darwin sharing a drink in a pub, reflecting on how things on earth have not exactly worked out according to plan.”
“The song starts, and I’m in the studio. I don’t have any words for it yet,” says frontman Ian Gillan of the track. “So I just start screaming. It was the pure joy of yelling it.”
The 80-year-old adds, “I vowed when I was 40 that I’d stop screaming by the time I was 60. Now I’m looking back and thinking, ‘Whatever happened to that?’ So we’ll give it a go.”
This is the third single Deep Purple has released from SPLAT!, following “Arrogant Boy” and “Diablo.” It is available now via digital outlets.
SPLAT!, Deep Purple’s first album since to 2024’s =1, will be released July 3. The album explores the idea of the end of humanity as a transformation rather than a destruction, with the album’s description noting it sees the end “not in any crude apocalyptic sense but as a metamorphosis beyond physical existence.”
Deep Purple will launch a North American tour Aug. 4 in Raleigh, North Carolina. A complete list of dates can be found at DeepPurple.com.

(CLEVELAND) — A man suspected of shooting two people with blowgun darts in back-to-back broad daylight attacks this week in the same Cleveland, Ohio, neighborhood, has been arrested, police said on Wednesday.
The 42-year-old suspect, whose name was not immediately released, was arrested on Tuesday on suspicion of felony assault following a two-day manhunt, according to the Cleveland Police Department.
One of the victims was shot multiple times with blow darts and had to undergo surgery, according to police.
The bizarre attacks unfolded around 4 p.m. local time on Monday in the Clark-Fulton neighborhood of west Cleveland, police said in a statement to ABC News on Wednesday morning.
A woman targeted in the first incident alleged the suspect, whom she recognized from the neighborhood, verbally insulted her and struck her in the face with his hand in an unprovoked attack, according to the police statement.
The victim alleged that a short time later, the suspect confronted her again in the parking lot of a Family Dollar store, according to the police report. The man allegedly pulled out a blow-dart gun and fired it repeatedly at the woman, striking her with needle-like darts at least five times, according to police.
“Upon arrival, officers located a 56-year-old woman who had been struck with several long-needle darts,” police said.
She was taken to MetroHealth Medical Center in Cleveland, where she underwent surgery to remove one of the darts that pierced her liver, according to police.
While at the hospital with the first victim, police received a report that a second person had been shot with a blowdart gun in the same Clark-Fulton neighborhood near the busy intersection of West 25th Street and Clark Ave., according to police.
Officers who responded to the scene in the Clark-Fulton neighborhood discovered a 40-year-old man suffering from wounds in the blowgun dart attack, police said.
“The victim stated that he was in the area of West 25th Street when an unknown male shot him with a blow dart. He reported running from the area and calling 911,” according to the police report.
The victim was treated at a hospital for his injuries, police said.
A search was immediately launched, according to police. On Wednesday, officers arrested the suspect after spotting him in the Clark-Fulton neighborhood, according to the police statement.
During the arrest, officers recovered a blowgun as evidence, police said.
