 Country singer Brad Paisley is making a stop in Bemidji this spring and he's bringing a few friends with him. Reporter Cheryl Moore has details on the event and reactions from fans. Get your cowboy hats and boots ready because Brad Paisley is coming to the Sanford Center. I think one of the exciting things is that it's going to be on a Saturday night and we've had a lot of major con concerts come but they've often been in the middle of the week sort of the pickup on the way through and this one we're at the front end of the tour scheduling. Officials made the announcement this morning. The two-time Grammy and 14-time Country Music Award winner will be joined on stage by Dustin Lynch, Chase Bryant and Lindsay L as a part of the weekend Warriors tour. This concert has been in the works for about three and a half months. We actually started last fall talking about wanting to get a major artist in the Bemidji market and it was last September and October is when the conversation started and this last July we were at Nashville's meeting with the potential artists. We were going after three different artists and we're hoping to get one of them. The Sanford Center says they're expecting this parking lot to be filled with more than a few cars come April 28th and with the amount of country fans in Bemidji that probably won't be too hard. Super excited for him to come to town. I love Brad Paisley. I love the songs that he writes. The funny ones and the not so funny ones. I just like both of them. His style of picking is phenomenal. He has some good songs, been one of my favorites for quite some time now. I'm excited. Yeah, we're excited too. Yeah. If you want tickets you may want to get them ASAP because this is expected to be the biggest event ever hosted at the Sanford Center. In Bemidji, Sheryl Moore, Lakeland News. Tickets for the concert will go on sale this Friday at 10 a.m. at the Sanford Center Box Office.
