 Nashville, TN. (Top40 Charts/ Arista Records) - ACM Top Male Vocalist Brad Paisley's Hershey's Presents Bonfires and Amplifies Tour is a hot ticket. Playing to over 250,000 fans through the first 23 shows – Paisley has seen an increase in attendance of 42% over his 2006 Time Well Wasted tour, that Pollstar ranked as the No 4 country tour of the year for attendance. 'Paisley , whose new album is called 5th Gear, was in overdrive with his usual collection of finger-blurring guitar riffs and a growing catalog of hits. Backed by a top-flight six-piece band, he had the crowd of about 12,000 on its feet for most of his 90 minute set,' states the Arizona Republic. The San Jose Mercury News glows 'Brad Paisley capped an evening of country music with a set full of good humor and easygoing excellence.' And the Boston Globe observed '…the West Virginia native proved that he is the poster boy for new millennium country, effortlessly combining age-old tradition with a new age sensibility. … A rip-snorting instrumental – a rare commodity at mainstream country concerts – filled with his impressively nimble jazz and rock-tinged fretwork, was jazzed up by zippy animation – also hand-made by Paisley .'
