Before the devastating floods that hit Nashville two weeks ago, country superstar, Brad Paisley and his crew were getting ready to embark on their “H2O Tour”. Brad Paisley Tickets were being sold, rehearsals were scheduled and the tour was set to begin on May 21st in Virginia Beach, VA.
Paisley’s “H2O Tour” plans take him across the country to 39 stops, including three in Europe. Unfortunately, the devastating flooding hit Tennessee and ruined most of Paisley’s instruments, amps and staging equipment. Paisley is now scrambling to replace the destroyed equipment, while cleaning and fixing what can be salvaged. But Paisley remains in good spirits and wrote in an op-ed for Billboard that he and his crew will be ready for opening night.
“…But we learned about ourselves this week. I mean, my crew stood in knee-deep water lifting every last piece of equipment they could save. Then they lined up for tetanus shots. Bo O’Brien lost his jeep trying to haul off video gear, Mike Garibedian single-handedly saved our monitor rig lifting one piece at a time. And now we’re all scrambling to pull off the miracle of making it still work. We’ve always been a close group, but now we’re WWII close.”
Well, it looks like even a 100 year flood will not be able to stop this tour from being one of the hottest of the summer. Paisley has turned the H2O tour experience into a combination of a water park and a concert. There will be dunk tanks and fishing simulators, as well as charity promotions to help people who do not have clean drinking water. Two stages will be set up for the “H2O Tour”. The Waterworld Stage will be the opening stage for the show, with rising stars Easton Corbin, Josh Thompson and Steel Magnolia performing. The main stage will have another rising star, Justin Moore, as well as fan favorite Darius Rucker opening for Brad
Paisley.
Paisley is a three-time Grammy winner and the reigning ACM Male Vocalist of the Year. His songs range from the serious and sentimental; “Letter to Me” and “Waitin’ On A Woman,” to the comedic and irreverent “I’m Still a Guy” and “Online.” With 16 #1 singles, Paisley brings a packed set list to every show.
