BRAD PAISLEY: We’ll Drink to That…

audio

Well, Brad Paisley is doing something a little different with his Crushin’ It World Tour this year, as some lucky fans get the chance to belly up to the bar at Brad’s shows…only this bar is on the stage! (AUDIO INFO BELOW)

  • Following a trio of tour dates this week in Nevada and California, Brad will be in Nashville this Sunday to close out the final night of LP Field performances at the 2015 CMA Music Festival.
  • If you haven’t picked up Brad’s Moonshine in the Trunk album, it’s loaded with hits, including “River Bank,” “Perfect Storm,” and Brad’s newest chart-climber, “Crushin’ It.”

audio  Brad Paisley talks about a cool new element to his tour this year. (:34)
“We have a bar this year, on the road, which is on the stage. We built a set that looks like it’s set pieces, but you realize that this video wall that’s about five feet high on this side, it’s about 20 feet long, it sets out in front of the back, has a countertop and taps in the end of it. And it’s set up for 20, 30 people to stand at. It’s a bar. It’s fully functional. First song there’s no one there. By the second song, we launch into ‘Water,’ and there it is. It goes (mimicked sound effect), and it turns into a bar.”
