Saturday night (May 12), Kenny Chesney was in New Orleans to lend a hand to his friends Matthew McConaughey and New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees. The superstar performed at the city's House of Blues to wrap up the 3rd annual Amazing Race charity event, which benefits both the Brees Foundation and McConaughey's Just Keep Livin' Foundation.

"We've been in tour rehearsals for weeks now so it was great for us to get on stage and feel the energy and feedback from the crowd," Kenny said. "Tonight was all about playing music to help celebrate this great event. People in this town love music and helping out their neighbor and I was glad to be a part of it."

A big ticket item of the night was the chance to sing on stage with the "Reality" singer. For $10,000, one prosperous fan was able to join Kenny for "Somewhere With You."

Drew and Matthew also proved promising duet partners, helping Kenny out with the encore performance of "Boys of Fall."

"Kenny has been a dear friend and always expressed interest in working with the foundation. This is such a wonderful way to end the race and his support means the world to us," said Drew and Matthew in a joint statement.

The race is the signature event of the Brees Foundation, which was founded by Drew and his wife Britney. Proceeds from the race will benefit the charity, as well as Matthew and fiancée Camila Alves' Just Keep Livin' Foundation. Money raised will also go towards providing care, education and more for underprivileged children and families in Louisiana and the Gulf Coast.

Kenny is now headed back into tour rehearsals. His Boys of the Sun Tour with Tim McGraw kicks off June 2 in Tampa, Fla.
