  Brad Paisley
  Cruzan Amphitheatre

  Brad Paisley's boyish looks and laid-back, rock 'n' roll stage garb have helped make him one of the reigning darlings of the country world.

  Beach Day
  Hollywood Beach Theater

  As natives to the subtropic flatlands of South Florida, do we ever really grow tired of sun-soaked afternoons on the sand spent gazing up at the swaying palm trees and clear blue skies?
