Born Oct. 28, 1972, in the tiny Ohio River town of Glen Dale, W.Va., Brad Paisley seemed destined for a life of music. When Paisley was 8, his grandfather gave him his first guitar -- a Sears Danelectro Silvertone with an amp in the case. By the age of 10, Paisley was playing well enough to accompany himself. He soon began singing in church and at civic meetings for the Lion's Club and the Fraternal Order of Elks. Next, he formed his first band, Brad Paisley & the C-Notes, with his guitar instructor, local musician Clarence "Hank" Goddard. At 12, Paisley wrote his first song, "Born on Christmas Day."
