Weekend spotlight: Brad Paisley’s back
The country music star plays the BayCare Sound Sunday. Also: Indian ragas, podcaster Jackie Schimmel and a tribute to jazzman Horace Silver.
With 10 consecutive No. 1 singles notched between 2006 and 2009 – and 10 other chart-toppers, both before and after that smoking hot streak – West Virginia’s Brad Paisley has been one of country music’s most consistent 21st century hitmakers (he also scored five platinum albums, and a trunkful of gold ones).
Paisley, a semi-regular visitor to bay area concert stages, performs Sunday at the BayCare Sound amphitheater in Clearwater. The “Truck Still Works World Tour” includes support acts Walker Hayes and Alexandra Kay.
Need a refresher? Paisley’s biggest include “Whiskey Lullaby,” “Mud on the Tires,” “She’s Everything,” “Then,” “Remind Me” (with Carrie Underwood) and “Old Alabama” (with Alabama).
