Kenny Chesney and Old Dominion play Crowbar in Ybor City, Florida on April 21, 2022.

Kenny Chesney fans got a surprise dose of the good stuff on Thursday night when the country superstar showed up to play with Old Dominion at Crowbar in Ybor City.

The group was playing a surprise pop up show at the 298-capacity venue ahead of iits Saturday gig with Chesney at Tampa's much larger Raymond James Stadium.

Crowbar owner Tom DeGeorge has yet to reply to a Creative Loafing Tampa Bay regarding details on how Chesney landed at his bar, but last night on social media DeGeorge posted video of Chesney's surprise Tampa performance, captioned "I can keep one helluva secret."

Don't blink, right?

Surprise show indeed! What a crazy fun night in Tampa! Thank y’all for showing up on such short notice! This tour is gonna be insane. pic.twitter.com/09PT5Ma6BI
