Brad Paisley tour parties into the New Year

The party just doesn’t stop with country music singer-songwriter Brad Paisley. The crooner recently announced that he will keep the tour bus rolling straight into 2009, with the recent announcement of 24 additional Paisley Party Tour dates.

The 2009 tour kicks off January 15 at the Bancorp South Center in Tupelo, MS, and continues through March 1 at the Yakima Valley Sundome in Yakima, WA. The North American trek will feature nine Canadian shows — four in Ontario, two in Saskatchewan and one each in Manitoba and Alberta.

Dierks Bentley will provide support for the six-week tour, backing his own 2008 greatest hits album. Additional support will come from Darius Ruckner during the February dates and Crystal Shawanda for February.

Paisley kicked off his tour on June 11, and his next stop is September 18 at the Lakewood Amphitheatre in Atlanta, GA, with Jewel. The 2008 leg of the Paisley Party Tour wraps on October 18 at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre in San Antonio, TX.

Paisley is touring in support of his chart-topping 2007 release “5th Gear” and his upcoming November 4 album, “Play,” a mostly instrumental album that features guest appearances by B.B. King and Keith Urban.
