Paisley just returned from a tour of Europe where he played to a sold-out crowd in Dublin, Ireland. He posted to Instagram after the show a week ago, "Dublin is such a magical place. What a crowd, & I got to go back to @dohenyandnesbitt pub where we filmed the southern comfort zone vid, and also. this was the last show of the year with @iamchrislane. So very thankful for the fun we’ve had over here. #dublin."
