Newly crowned CMA Entertainer of the Year Brad Paisley ended his 2010 "H2O Tour" with a little help from another CMA Entertainer of the Year. At his show in Tulsa, Oklahoma on November 20th, Paisley welcomed Roy Clark, who earned top honors from the CMA in 1973, to join him on stage for Roy's instrumental hit "Ghost Riders in the Sky." Brad explained to the crowd, quote, "I learned how to play guitar with a Roy Clark songbook, so I blame all this on him." Over the course of his tour this year Brad performed before nearly one-million fans in over 73 markets. That includes 70-thousand at AquaPalooza on Texas' Lake Travis, a crowd of more than 51-thousand at Gillette Stadium in Boston, and over 35-thousand at his "Concerts for the Gulf" show in Gulf Shores, Alabama. In addition, Paisley played sold-out dates in London, England and at Notodden Norway's "Musikkfestival."
The final leg of Paisley's "H2O World Tour," dubbed "H2O Frozen Over," launches January 20th in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Darius Rucker, who toured with Paisley throughout this year, will be back for the winter 2011 dates while Jerrod Niemann is also on board as an opener.
