Brad Paisley Announces New TV Show "Nashville"

Country star Brad Paisley has just announced his involvement with the CW Network on creating a new series for next season, called "Nashville."  Paisley has teamed up with Zach Quinto (an actor in“Star Trek” & “Heroes”), Mark Schwann (producer of “One Tree Hill”), Neal Dodson and Matt Bomer (writers for the shows “White Collar" & “Chuck”) in the creation of this new series. 

The drama will be centered on two main characters, a young female who's aspiration to be a country music singer is destined to come true, and a talented young male songwriter who's career fate is not as positive. 

Paisley will appear in the series from time to time, as well as his music. Brad says, "I’m very excited to portray the country music world of my favorite town, Nashville, by showing the exciting life of musicians, songwriters and performers – all very talented people. Look for some of your favorite country music stars to make their acting debuts on the show – either by playing themselves or as a character in the script."

He also says writing themes for the episodes can be closely linked to some country songs, "Country songs are like great scripts already and it’s going to be fun to see how some unfold on the show.”

The show is set to air next season on the CW.
