Brad Paisley bringing the hits and charm to Rogers Place Nov. 7
Country music superstar Brad Paisley is driving his hit machine up to Edmonton on Nov. 7 on his Truck Still Works World Tour.
A thinking-person's hitmaker, some of the West Virginia-born singer-songwriter guitarist's 50-plus Billboard charters and No. 1 singles include She's Everything, Mud on the Tires, Whiskey Lullaby with Alison Krauss, Then and When I Get Where I'm going with Dolly Parton, which kicked off an impressive string of 10 peak chart-toppers.
He wrote 21 of his 25 No. 1 hits.
In a 27-year career, the hardworking Freemason-musician has also made songs with Keith Urban, Carrie Underwood and mighty Alabama.
'No one can make the album they made 10 years ago with a straight face,' Paisley has said. 'There are two reasons: one is you change as a person. To be a true artist, I have to be true to who I am now and write that way. And the second thing is these are different times.'
Besides the music, Paisley has written books about fishing and the ins and outs of his career, and has done voice work on King of the Hill and South Park.
On the advocacy side, he promoted the COVID vaccines with Jill Biden, doing a cover of Jolene with the word 'vaccine' subbed into the chorus, and has been critical of the pharmaceutical industry for its role in the opioid crisis with his song The Medicine Will. He and his wife also founded The Store, helping low-income families around Nashville.
General tickets for his nine Canadian dates including a Nov. 8 show in Lethbridge the day after the Friday-night Rogers Place gig go on sale 10 a.m. June 20 at bradpaisley.com.

'Roadblock': Paramount Stock (NASDAQ:PARA) Surges as the Trump Settlement Sputters
As it turns out, entertainment giant Paramount (PARA) was actually fairly close to a deal with President Trump over the 60 Minutes lawsuit. But, when the deal was fairly close, a 'roadblock' emerged and put a halt to the whole matter, at least for now. Investors reacted with surprising strength, and perhaps even more surprising positivity. Paramount shares gained nearly 2.5% in the closing minutes of Friday's trading. Confident Investing Starts Here: The settlement had reached $35 million, reports noted, when Paramount suddenly found itself paralyzed by indecision. That delay caused Trump lawyers to pivot and pull back to their original demand, calling for a $50 million settlement. The biggest problem seems to be that the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is also involved in this, and needs to sign off on the merger with Skydance as well. Reports suggested that Paramount brass believes that the FCC's sign-off on the deal needs to be contingent on settling the case, but by like token, the idea that requiring FCC approval as part of the settlement looks a lot like a bribe. Trump's legal team, reports note, has already been clear that the Trump suit and the FCC case are two separate matters. But with outside organizations looking to launch their own lawsuits should the settlement go through, looks may count for more here than anyone expected. South Park Losses Mount Meanwhile, as Paramount faces the prospect of losing South Park exclusivity, it quietly pulled another old episode from the field. The pull this time showed up in the Canadian and Australian markets, reports noted, and this time, featured Butters' Very Own Episode pulled from Paramount+. Why, however, is a bit of a mystery. Several South Park episodes are apparently a bit too spicy for streaming, in retrospect, with around a dozen classic episodes set to be pulled from the catalog and relegated to a 'ban list', reports noted. The reports got stranger as an Australian viewer noted that the Paramount+ listing had been pulled, but the episode could still be watched by watching through Paramount+ on Amazon (AMZN) Prime Video. Is Paramount Stock a Good Buy Right Now? Turning to Wall Street, analysts have a Hold consensus rating on PARA stock based on two Buys, eight Holds and five Sells assigned in the past three months, as indicated by the graphic below. After a 18.62% rally in its share price over the past year, the average PARA price target of $12.08 per share implies 2.23% downside risk.
