Tennessee honors Paisley

Friday, April 19, 2024 – Brad Paisley was honored with 'Tennessean of the Year- Music' by Tennessee Governor Bill Lee during yesterday's CEO Roundtable Series 2024 at the Governor's Residence.

The private event honored Tennesseeans in business and innovation poised to spotlight the accomplishments of Tennessee's most innovative and influential leaders.

"What a privilege it is to be among this great group of people who all believed that with community, ideas could prosper," said Paisley.

An independent selection committee selected / named the awards.

Paisley's philanthropic endeavors in the state of Tennessee include the 2021 nationwide campaign to promote Tennessee tourism with Governor Lee, "Tennessee on Me." In 2020, Paisley and his wife Kimberly Williams-Paisley, alongside Belmont University, co-founded the nonprofit organization The Store, a free-referral based grocery store which aims to empower low-income individuals and families in the Nashville area. The Paisleys have also been recognized by Belmont for their endowed scholarship fund. In 2021, Belmont dedicated the "Brad Paisley and Kimberly Williams-Paisley Ballroom" in the University's Fisher Center.

Nevertheless, Paisley in concert and captured on ...
CD review - American Saturday Night Brad Paisley has grown up on his eighth album. Yes, the West Virginian maintains a sense of humor, but apparently aging has left its mark on a maturing singer who has never forsaken his country roots. That is ever so apparent in songs like Anything Like Me and Oh Yeah, You're Gone. The former finds Paisley looking at the passage of time through his son's life in a tender, but not sappy look. On the latter, he's a five-year-old boy who doesn't get what he wants, which his grandfather notices. ...
