Mark Chesnutt will welcome sunny spring aboard a KC 135 jet alongside the Tennessee Air National Guard. Taking his neo-traditional country sound to the Pacific, Mark will play several shows at U.S. Air Force bases in South Korea.

Chesnutt will perform at Camp Casey April 8, Camp Humphreys April 9, and Kunsan Air Base April 10. Since Chesnutt has performed for troops in the past, he is looking forward to doing so again. While in Korea, Mark will also tour the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), that separates North and South Korea.

Mark says; I’m very happy to be able to go visit our troops again this year. These people just want to have a taste of home, and I plan on giving that to them.
