Brad Paisley Goes Back to College . . . Again

Brad Paisley had so much fun on his 2015 Country Nation College Tour that he decided to do it all again.

The 2016 Country Nation College Tour presented by Frontier Communications returns with Brad hitting up a new group of colleges this fall. The new tour will kickoff off on Sunday, Sept. 4, in downtown Orlando, Fla. Brad will follow that up with a trip to his home state of West Virginia for an on-campus show at West Virginia University on Friday, Sept. 9, and Ohio State University on Thursday, Sept. 15.

“Music and college sports are a winning combination, and we’re thrilled to help bring this experience to fans across the country,” said Cecilia McKenney, EVP and chief customer officer of Frontier Communications. “Sponsoring the Country Nation College Tour is the perfect opportunity for us to show appreciation to our customers.”

Additional stops on the Country Nation College Tour presented by Frontier Communications will be announced later this month.

Brad co-wrote “Country Nation” with friends Chris DuBois and Kelley Lovelace, in celebration of the college spirit and America’s passion for sports—shouting out to 18 college sports mascots throughout the song. Check out his 2015 hit below and get ready for some football with Brad.
