Paisley’s Bringing The Camobunga!

/by

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 outing kicks-off Jan. 12 in Grand Rapids, Mich. with special guests The Band Perry and Scotty McCreery.

Paisley’s explanation of the tour name comes from an etymology of the word Camobunga:

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.

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.

Paisley will also release his first book, Diary of a Player, on Nov. 1, delving into how his musical heroes made a guitar man out of him.

He is currently nominated for five CMA Awards – Entertainer of the Year, Male Vocalist, Album of the Year (This Is Country Music), Music Event and Video (“Old Alabama”) and will co-host “The 45th Annual CMA Awards” with Carrie Underwood for the fourth consecutive year on Nov 9.
