Kenny Chesney's Absence from Erie County: The 'Horse Incident' and Unconfirmed Ban

Kenny Chesney, a renowned country artist, has reportedly not been invited to perform a concert in Erie County. Despite his illustrious career and recent induction into the Country Music Hall of Fame, Chesney has not returned to Erie County since an incident in 2000. The incident, known as the "horse incident," involved Chesney, Tim McGraw, and their manager allegedly taking a horse from the Erie County Sheriff's mounted unit during a concert at Ralph Wilson Stadium. The singers were arrested and later found not guilty in court in 2001. While there are rumors that Chesney was banned from performing in Erie County, there is no official confirmation of this claim. Tim McGraw, who was also involved in the incident, has performed in Erie County multiple times since then, casting doubt on the ban.
