He’s still on the road with his “American Saturday Night” tour and is slated to perform AND host at the upcoming CMA Awards, but that doesn’t seem to be enough for Brad Paisley.
The man, the myth, and the soon-to-be country legend has announced MORE tour dates starting in San Antonio, Texas, on January 7, 2010, and ending in North Charleston, SC, on March 6th.

Joining Brad on the road for this leg of his tour are Miranda Lambert, a two-time Grammy nominee, and Justin Moore, one of country music’s rising stars.

Brad Paisley was inspired by hard economic times and personal events as he co-wrote all 14 new songs on his latest release, American Saturday Night. He commented, “I think all of that and the birth of a son and the bold new times we’re living in… it’s hard to ignore.”
In a recent interview with the Associated Press, Paisley opened up on where the material came from for his new album, saying the times were too serious for a strictly lighthearted CD. He embraces diversity with the title track, while the song “Welcome to the Future” provides the listener with some social commentary.
But don’t fret - there is still some whimsy on the record. Paisley’s son, Huck, makes his musical debut by singing the last word on “Anything Like Me.” And the CD cover art is compliments of Paisley himself, who sketched the design and painted it in his barn in an hour!
