Nov 7, 2011
Arista Nashville artist Brad Paisley is gearing up to embark on his next headlining tour, "The Camobunga! 2012 World Tour," which will kick off January 12th in Grand Rapids, MI. Republic Nashville group The Band Perry and Mercury Nashville artist Scotty McCreery will serve as Paisley's opening acts.
Paisley has decided to break it down for fans, as to how he came about the name 'Camobunga' for the tour. He has described the etymology and the word in his own terms.
Camobunga :n; : //kam,bunga/ - The name of a live musical tour experience. A mind blowing blend of country, fiery 60's surf guitar acrobatics, futuristic special effects, retro heart and soul, and mind altering liquid beverages. The spirit of the deep woods meets the breakneck excitement of the California coast.
camouflage - N: /kamfläZH/ -fabric w/ splotches of green, brown, black & tan, meant to make the wearer of this pattern hard to distinguish from the background;(or possibly stand out as a redneck). And Brad Paisley's latest single.
Cowabunga
(exclamation): Originated as a greeting by Chief Thunderthud on the 50's cowboy puppet tv program "The Howdy Doody Show", was later adopted by surfers in the 60's."
