Brad Paisley Summer Tour Dates to Include Cowboy Hats and Baseball Caps

Brad Paisley is teaming with Cracker Barrel for the first leg of his 2013 trek. The Beat This Summer tour, sponsored by the restaurant chain, kicks off May 9 in St. Louis, Mo., with openers Lee Brice and Chris Young. The highly anticipated journey takes its name from the singer-songwriter's latest single, which he co-wrote with Chris DuBois and Luke Laird.

"This song is about that feeling we've all had at some point in our lives – when you're young, you've fallen in love, maybe you're on the beach or working near the boardwalk," Brad says. "You're thinking there may never be a summer to compare."

In addition to bring a good time to fans across North America, the tour will also help those in need. One dollar from every ticket sold will be donated to Live Beyond, a non-profit organization that provides medical care, clean water and nutritional support to impoverished communities in Haiti.
