"Brad has solidified his place in not only the country music touring arena, but all genres of music as a true superstar, and I am very proud to be part of his team. I can assure everyone that plans have been in the works for the next chapter of Brad's touring career, and I can tell you that you ain't seen nothing yet! Stay tuned...you really never know what he has up his sleeve."
