We will start things off with our biggest story of the week: BRAD PAISLEY and KIMBERLY WILLIAMS-PAISLEY are set to launch a second location of THE STORE on the campus of Tristar Centennial Medical Center.

New + Upcoming Tours
OASIS will hit the road touring the UK and Ireland in 2025. The famous feuding band of brothers parted ways 15 years ago and demand has been so high that new shows have already been added. So far, ticket sales have been plagued with complaints as potential buyers are reporting queues as long as tens of thousands of people, people getting locked out of their accounts, questionable Ticketmaster “in-demand pricing,” site errors and more. Let’s see if the brothers can even get along well enough to get to the first show. 😉
