2/26/2008 Meaghan Mitchell After rocking out 94 cities, Brad Paisley's Hershey's Presents Bonfires and Amplifiers Tour wrapped up this past weekend. The tour lasted over a 10 month span, playing for over 1,000,000 fans. However, Brad was not the only artist to charm these fans.  Throughout its duration, the tour included newcomer Chuck Wicks, Rodney Atkins, platinum selling artist Taylor Swift, Kellie Pickler, and Jack Ingram.  The 2007 Bonfires and Amplifiers show was so successful early-on that it was expanded through Feb. 2008. "I was asked prior to the beginning of the tours what I expected from this tour, and my response was that I hoped that people would come on and experience what a great performer Brad is, and I think that has been evidenced by the million or so fans that came out over the course of this run," says Brian O'Connell, President Nashville Touring--Live Nation. After a four-week stint at #1 on Billboard's Hot Country Songs and R&R Country charts with "Letter To Me," Brad's newest single, "I'm Still A Guy" is Radio & Records #1 most-added song at country radio this week, with its official impact date still a week away. This is Brad's fourth single from his latest 5th Gear album.
