Brad Paisley is set to return as the headliner of Nashville’s vibrant, free Fourth of July concert this summer. The “Mud on the Tires” superstar previously headlined Let Freedom Sing! Music City July 4th in 2021. It’s deemed one of the largest Fourth of July fireworks shows in the nation, synchronized to music by the GRAMMY-winning Nashville Symphony, per a press release as the Nashville Convention & Visitors Corp announced details for the show on Thursday (April 20).
Paisley’s headlining gig also includes performances by The War and Treaty, Langhorne Slim and Tiera Kennedy, performing the National Anthem. Other artists set to perform in a family fun area include The Magi, Tommy Howell, Les Kerr & The Bayou Band and Troubadour Blue, with Coach (DJ) entertaining festival goers between acts, per the release. Paisley is headlining the Jack Daniel’s Broadway Stage at First and Broadway in Downtown Nashville, Tennessee. The Nashville Symphony will perform afterward on the Ascend Amphitheater stage.
This year’s Let Freedom Sing! Music City July 4th will also feature The Store as a charitable partner. Paisley and his wife, Kimberly Williams-Paisley, founded the free grocery store that “a year-round free grocery store allowing people to shop for their basic needs. There is no charge to those referred or to the people and agencies that send them,” reads the organization’s website. “A philosophy of community empowerment means we aim to solve hunger issues in our community by developing programs to meet the needs of the community, including partnering with other organizations on issues of food security.”
Paisley is set to release a highly-anticipated album this year, Son of The Mountains, which includes his recently-released track featuring Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, “Same Here.” The country star said in February that “for the last year or so I’ve been pouring my heart and soul into a new project with this team and I cannot wait for the world to hear it.”
