BRAD PAISLEY ANNOUNCES 2012 TOUR
“The Camobunga! 2012 World Tour” presented by Chevy
 
With Special Guests The Band Perry and Scotty McCreery
 
 
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Oct. 19, 2011)  After recently wrapping his highly successful 2011 tour Brad Paisley has announced his tour for next year – “The Camobunga! 2012 World Tour” presented by Chevy. The tour kicks-off Jan. 12 in Grand Rapids, MI with special guests The Band Perry and Scotty McCreery. 
 
Paisley’s explanation on how he arrived at the tour name: 
“Camobunga :n; : //kam,bunga/ -  The name of a live musical tour experience. A mind blowing blend of country, fiery 60's surf guitar acrobatics, futuristic special effects, retro heart and soul, and mind altering liquid beverages. The spirit of the deep woods meets the breakneck excitement of the California coast. 

Etymology of the word Camobunga :
camouflage - N: /kamfläZH/ -fabric w/ splotches of green, brown, black & tan, meant to make the wearer of this pattern hard to distinguish from the background;(or possibly stand out as a redneck). And Brad Paisley's latest single.
cowabunga
(exclamation): Originated as a greeting by Chief Thunderthud on the 50's cowboy puppet tv program "The Howdy Doody Show", was later adopted by surfers in the 60's.”

No core country artist has crossed over more titles to AC. Rogers has scored eight AC No. 1s. Rogers: "I remember when [the AC charts] were established, I thought it was so cool.

" We are concerned and feel that they are going to continue and cause problems to say the least for law enforcement." Ryan Dougherty, 21; his sister Lee Grace E. Dougherty, 29; and half-brother Dylan Dougherty Stanley, 26, have been on the lam since Aug. 2 when they shot at a police officer attempting to pull their white Subaru Impreza over for speeding.
