March 14, 2007

Tickets to the Brad Paisley concert at Georgia Southern University’s Paulson Stadium go on sale to the general public Monday, March 26. The concert is set for Friday, April 27, at 8 p.m. when Georgia Southern and Hershey’s presents the Brad Paisley ‘Bonfires & Amplifiers Tour.” Opening for Paisley are Jack Ingram, Kellie Pickler and Taylor Swift.

Paisley currently appears on the Billboard Country Charts with the song ‘She’s Everything” from his latest album ‘Time Well Wasted.” At the 2006 Country Music Association (CMA) awards show, Paisley walked away with the Musical Event of the Year award and Album of the Year.

Before entering the world of country music, Ingram studied psychology at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas. His first single, ‘Wherever You Are,” went to number one on all the charts and his cover version of the rock song ‘Lips of an Angel” appears on the Billboard Country Charts in the top 25.

Pickler may be best known for appearing on the fifth season of ‘American Idol” where she landed in the top 12 and finished sixth in the competition. Her certified-gold debut album, ‘Small Town Girl,” and single, ‘Red High Heels,” are climbing the Billboard Country Charts.

At the age of 16, Swift released her self-titled debut album. Her Web site describes her hit single ‘Tim McGraw” as ‘a ballad describing the way music can evoke the sweetest of memories.”
