One of the 21st Century's most iconic country-music superstars brings his “Weekend Warrior World Tour” to Moline's TaxSlayer Center on March 24, as singer/songwriter Brad Paisley shares the chart-topping talents that have earned him no fewer than 14 Academy of County Music (ACM) Awards, five of them for Top Male Vocalist of the Year.
Born in West Virginia in 1972, Paisley made his professional singing debut in 1999, the year he made his first appearance with the Grand Ole Opry and recorded his debut album Who Needs Pictures. That release resulted in Paisley's first number-one singles – “He Didn't Have to Be” and “We Danced” – and became his first platinum-selling album, and in 2000, the artist won the Country Music Association's Horizon Award and the ACM's Best New Male Vocalist trophy. Later that year, Paisley received his first Grammy Award nomination, for Best New Artist, and on February 17 of 2001, he was inducted into the Grand Ole Opry – becoming, at 28, the organization's youngest-ever member.
To date, Paisley has released 10 studio albums and a Christmas compilation on the Arista Nashville label, with all of his albums certified Gold or higher, and has scored 32 top-10 singles on the U.S. Billboard Country Airplay chart, 19 of which reached number-one. In 2009, he also set a new record for the most consecutive singles (10) to reach the top spot on that chart, among them “Waitin' on a Woman,” “I'm Still a Guy,” and “She's Everything.” And in addition to his 14 ACM Awards and selling over 11 million albums worldwide, Paisley has been the recipient of three Grammys, 14 Country Music Association Awards, and two American Music Awards for Favorite Country Male Artist.
