NASHVILLE, Tenn. (October 12, 2021) Global country music superstar Brad Paisley wrapped his Tour 2021 over the weekend with a final run of shows on the West Coast. Special guests on the tour included multi-platinum selling and current ACM New Male Artist Jimmie Allen and Columbia Nashville rising star Kameron Marlowe. Live Nation was the official promoter of the tour. The tour played 30+ stops across the nation playing major markets like Tampa, Dallas, Houston, Charlotte, Raleigh, Chicago, Phoenix and more. Tour 2021 kicked off in Nashville, Tenn. on July 4 for Music City’s Let Freedom Sing! concert breaking attendance records as 350,000 people gathered into downtown for the show.
A portion of all ticket Tour 2021 sales are going to The Store – a nonprofit free-referral based grocery store co-founded by Brad Paisley and Kimberly Williams-Paisley. The Store opened for in-store clients on March 12, 2020, following the March 3 tornado that devastated parts of Nashville. The Store was open for only four days when the COVID-19 pandemic became widespread, and it was obvious in-store shopping was not going to be feasible. A new plan was needed, and staff, partners and volunteers all worked diligently to reach people in need as they were sheltered at home. A home delivery system for the elderly was immediately put in place and curbside pick-up was implemented. This July, The Store reopened to in-store shopping and are now serving 450 families a month.
