Brad Paisley Expands Country Nation College Tour

Students at five additional U.S. universities will get to see Brad Paisley for free this fall. The country star has added new shows to his Country Nation College Tour.

Paisley will perform at Florida State University, Auburn University, Wake Forest University, the University of Georgia and the University of South Carolina in early October; exact dates are listed below, and more details will be announced in the coming weeks. Eric Paslay will join Paisley at each of the five shows.

The singer's first four Country Nation College Tour dates took place in early September and drew more than 65,000 fans in total. Paisley's newest single, "Country Nation," was officially released to radio on Monday (Sept. 14) and is the week's most-added new song.

In addition to his free college concerts, Paisley served as this year's spokesperson for College Colors Day, which celebrated the opening of the college football season, and appeared on ESPN's College GameDay program, as the musical guest, on this year's college football opening weekend. He has also recorded a customized version of "Country Nation" for CBS Sports' regular-season SEC Game of the Week broadcasts.
