Brad Paisley Wraps TIME WELL WASTED TOUR

NASHVILLE , TN (Arista Records) - Multi-platinum artist Brad Paisley has taken his TIME WELL WASTED TOUR across the country in 2006 and played 87 cities to over 750,000 fans, traveling over a million miles in support of his ACM and CMA Album of the Year, TIME WELL WASTED. The tour ended this past weekend performing before a sold-out crowd at Allstate Arena in Chicago , IL . Tour mates for the last leg of the tour were Carrie Underwood and Jake Owen.

There was an after-show party at the venue to celebrate the end of the TIME WELL WASTED TOUR. It was catered by Giordano's Pizza – Paisley's favorite Chicago deep dish pizza - he's been known to travel several miles out of the way just to get a slice of Giordano's.

BRAD PAISLEY CHRISTMAS, Paisley 's first Christmas album has been well received by fans and critics alike. Currently four cuts from the album are in the Top 10 holiday releases getting airplay, 'Born on Christmas Day,' 'Santa Looked A Lot Like Daddy,' 'Winter Wonderland,' and 'Penquin, James Penguin.' The album is No 8 on Sound Scan's Country Album Sales Chart. 'It's a sweet, warm, big-hearted Christmas record with more musical weight than the average modern country record – or, in other words, it has more in common with classic Christmas records, and it feels every bit a classic holiday record itself,' says music critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide – Billboard .
