Brad Paisley’s H2O WORLD TOUR

Brad Paisley’s H2O World Tour will kick-off this coming weekend. Brad Paisley’s H2O World Tour, sponsored by Chevy, will hit more than 75 cities in the United States, Canada, and Europe over the next 12 months. Darius Rucker and Justin Moore are special guest artist along with Easton Corbin, Steel Magnolia, and Josh Thompson. Paisley’s current single is “Water,” from his American Saturday Night album. H2O World Tour will include a “Water World Plaza,” sponsored by Skinny Water and Sea Ray Boats, and will turn every city into a water festival. Focal point in the Plaza area will be the “Water World Plaza Stage” featuring emerging new stars Easton Corbin, Steel Magnolia, and Josh Thompson. The tour extravaganza will open each day at 4:00pm with music starting at 5:00pm. In addition to the music stage there will be multiple water-themed activities – including a Chevy H2O FLW fishing simulator, dunking booth, Hope Through Healing Hands’ campaign booth, and more. Paisley is proud to partner with Hope Through Healing Hands’ campaign for clean, safe water.

Tim McGraw Not Cool

Tim McGraw admits in an interview with Good Housekeeping magazine that his daughters Gracie Katherine (13), Maggie Elizabeth (12), and Audrey Caroline (9) aren’t fans of his music. Tim McGraw goes on to further say in the June issue that he feels the same way. “Heck, I don’t like listening to me either. I’m a ’70s rock guy. They like Beyoncé, the Jonas Brothers and Ne-Yo. I have to say, my girls have pretty good taste in music.” Tim has been in the country music industry for over twenty years and yet he doesn’t like his own music? By these quotes it makes Tim sound like more of a sellout than he already is. If he doesn’t like the music he’s doing then why should we?Country Music Photo Gallery
