Paisley caught the country music bug
at an early age. By the time he was
12, he was singing in church and
playing in his first band, for
which he wrote his own material. With a regular
spot on “Jamboree USA,” a popular country
music radio show, Paisley opened for acts
such as The Judds and Roy Clark. Since
the prolific singer and songwriter
kicked off his chart-climbing
career with his 1999
debut album “Who Needs
Pictures,” he has released 11
studio albums and a Christmas
compilation. He hits
the stage with Riley Green
