Brad Paisley draws cheers, laughter with performance for Obamas

Washington: Brad Paisley hit the right notes with the US First Family, members of Congress and the staff, drawing cheers and laughter during his performance at the White House. The Grammy-Award winning country singer entertained the crowd with his song "Welcome to the Future" on July 21 as part of the new White House Music Series.

The event in the series was said to be the brainchild of First Lady Michelle Obama to lend support to arts and arts education, reports People magazine. Paisley, while referring to the Election Day, said it felt "unbelievable" to be in NYC`s Times Square, before turning to President Barack Obama and adding, "I`m sure you were busy." He said to the President: "I stood there and watched the world turn on a dime. I`m a two-time father…I thought about [my children]...you are the first president they will remember, which is something.” ANI
