BRAD PAISLEY COVERS ALL THE COUNTRY BASES

Chart topping tunes and engaging stage presence make this a must-see show By Alison Elsner

rooner Brad Paisley is about as hot as one gets in country music, topping the charts and filling concert arenas. A critically acclaimed singer, songwriter, guitarist and entertainer, his talents have earned him numerous awards, including three Grammys, two American Music Awards, 14 Academy of Country Music Awards and 14 Country Music Association Awards (including Entertainer of the Year). He has been a proud member of the Grand Ole Opry since 2001. Paisley has written 21 of his 24 No. 1 hits.

His 11th studio album, “Love and War,” released in 2017, was his ninth consecutive studio album to debut at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart. Originally from West Virginia, Paisley debuted as a singer with the label Arista Nashville with the song “Who Needs Pictures,” released February 1, 1999. Seven months later he had his first No. 1 hit with “He Didn’t Have to Be.” Other popular hits include “I’m Gonna Miss Her (The Fishin’ Song),” “When I Get Where I’m Going,” “Whiskey Lullaby,” “Start a Band,” “Alcohol,” “Time Well Wasted” and many others. Paisley proves

to be multi-faceted, branching out into roles such as advisor on “The Voice,” host of the Country Music Association Awards, guest star on sitcoms like “Two and a Half Men,” “According to Jim” and “South Park,” collaborator with Keith Urban and writer for numerous shows and productions. In 2016, he proved himself as a successful crossover genre artist with the song “Without a Fight,” featuring pop artist Demi Lovato and written by Paisley. Showing off his patriotism, Paisley performed at The White House in 2009, the National Memorial Day Concert on the West Lawn of the

U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C., in 2010 and the Naval Station in Mayport, Florida, in 2011. Audiences will delight in Paisley’s mastery of multiple instruments, namely the guitar, bass, mandolin, banjo and dobro. Time and time again they come back for his warm and friendly on-stage persona which makes everyone feel like a part of the show…so to speak. Brad Paisley takes the stage on Thursday, August 2 at 8 p.m. at Agua Caliente Casino Resort Spa located at 32250 Bob Hope Drive in Rancho Mirage. For tickets, visit hotwatercasino.com
