Costa and Kenny Chesney Partner for Conservation - CCA Texas

March 16th, 2011



Kenny Chesney Designs Limited Edition

Costa Sunglasses to Benefit

Coastal Conservation Association

Kenny’s Costas to be Sold Online, at “Goin’ Coastal” Concerts


Music superstar Kenny Chesney announced today he has partnered with Costa to design his


first line of signature sunglasses.  Proceeds generated from the sale of the Kenny Chesney Limited Edition Costas will benefit ocean conservation group Coastal Conservation Association (CCA), a shared cause for both Chesney and Costa.

The Kenny Chesney Limited Edition Costas go on sale online at www.costadelmar.com beginning March 17.  The sunglasses will also be sold at each stop of Chesney’s “Goin’ Coastal” North American concert tour, which begins March 17 in West Palm Beach, Fla. and concludes with two shows at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Mass. on Aug. 27 – 28.  Only a limited number of Kenny Costas are being produced and are expected to sell out quickly.

 

“The relationship with Costa, and what they stand for, goes hand in hand with the music that I make,” said Chesney.  “It’s important for all generations to be able to enjoy the ocean like I did, and I’m proud to partner with Costa to design a line of signature sunglasses that will help support ocean conservation.”

Kenny Chesney selected five Costa styles for his limited edition sunglasses line.  Each style – Hammerhead, Caballito, Rincon, Howler and Little Harbor – feature unique hand drawn artwork etched inside the sunglass arms, along with Kenny’s signature.

 

The artwork designs on each sunglass style are tied to a piece of Kenny’s life – one style features the song lyric, “No Shoes. No Shirt. No Problems!” while another commemorates the 2011 “Goin’ Coastal” tour.  The etched sunglass designs are reminiscent of scrimshaw, an ancient art form practiced by Native Americans and then Yankee whalemen in the early 1800s, who carved nautical images on whale’s teeth during long sea voyages.

 

“We’re huge fans of Kenny and his music.  He’s one of us – we both love the water, we love listening to music while we’re out on our boats, and we both want to do what we can to protect the oceans where we spend so much of our time,” said Al Perkinson, vice president of marketing for Costa.   “The money raised from the sale of Kenny’s line of Costa’s will help the Coastal Conservation Association (CCA) conserve our coastlines and promote sustainable sport fishing.”

About Kenny Chesney

Kenny Chesney—who has sold over 30 million albums to date and is a four-time Country Music Association and four-in-a-row-Academy of Country Music Entertainer of the Year recipient—had another landmark year in 2010.  This year looks to be even better for the superstar, who stands as the only artist in any genre to sell one million concert tickets for eight consecutive summers.

 

In 2010, Hemingway's Whiskey became Chesney's sixth album to debut at number one on the Billboard 200 chart, and it yielded his twentieth and twenty-first Number One Country Singles, "The Boys of Fall" and "Somewhere With You." Chesney released his live concert film “Kenny Chesney: Summer In 3D,” as well as the “Boys of Fall,” his 90-minute ESPN documentary about the lifelong positive impact high school football has on players.

 

In 2011, Chesney will launch his Corona Presents Kenny Chesney’s “Goin’ Coastal” Tour, his biggest tour in five years. The nearly 60-date North American tour includes eleven shows at NFL stadiums.  Chesney set the records for most sold-out shows ever by an artist at two stadiums: Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Mass., where tickets for his sixth sold-out show were gone in just eight minutes, and Philadelphia's Lincoln Financial Field stadium, where Chesney will take the stage for his fourth sold-out performance.  Chesney also debuted his new documentary, “The Color Orange: The Condredge Holloway Story” for ESPN’s The Year of The Quarterback series.

For Costa, conservation is all about sustainable fishing.  Many fisheries that should be vibrant and healthy are all but devoid of native fish because they have fallen victim to poor fishing practices, unregulated development, lack of watershed protection or all of the above. Costa works with partners around the world to help increase awareness and influence policy so that both the fish and fishermen of tomorrow will have healthy waters to enjoy.  Costa encourages others to help in any way they can.

 

Costa is well known among outdoor enthusiasts for its performance polarized sunglasses.  Lightweight nylon frames and no-slip nose pads provide a “forget-they’re-on” fit.  Costa’s patented 580™ lenses block yellow light at the 580 nanometers on the light spectrum.  The result is unparalleled visual clarity, the highest levels of polarization efficiency and razor sharp color enhancement.  All Costa sunglasses are hand assembled in Florida and can be customized with the frame and lens color of choice.

If youre job requires working under a sun and youre not wearing any glasses then youre putting your eyes in a serious risk, you must wear polarized sunglasses to protect your eyes from rays coming through the sun.
