So we’ve been showing you entries for Brad Paisleys Green Screen Challenge and today is your last chance to submit your do-it-yourself Brad Paisley video. We’ll continue to post some of our favorite videos - we can’t wait to see which one Brad picks.

The video below came with an explanation of the fictional “The BradTones” band. They story is hysterical and the video accompanies it perfectly.

The story (fictional):

Little has been known about Brad Paisley’s earlier band “The BradTones” until now…Founding member Thane Bradtone takes us through a brief history of this influential Pop/Rock/Beach/Do-Wop/Metal/Country Band that has meant so much to so few.
Through the years Brad always maintained his musical integrity and never changed his shirt once.
From the early TV appearances to the reason Keith Urban was kicked out…This is “The BradTones”

Many, many years ago - 1990 to be exact - Keith Urban won the Starmaker Contest at the Tamworth Country Music Festival down under in Australia. This year, a young man by the name of Liam Brew has taken that honor. Unbeknown to many, the country music scene in Australia is rather large.

Liam Brew beat out 9 other finalist to take the crown. He told reporters after winning, ‘I’m a huge fan of Keith Urban’s and he’s influenced my music a great deal, so to be on that list is exciting.’ The 18 year old singer from Palmview, Queensland got into country music when he was 13 and has since attended the Australian College of Country Music to work on his skills.

What’s not to love about Australian country music? Without it, we wouldn’t have Keith Urban. Bring on the Aussies.

The other 9 finalists:

8 Ball Aitken

Amber Joy Poulton

Bec Hance

Briana Lee

Dean Johnston

Kaylah Anne

Michelle Cashman

Tori Darke

Todd Stewart
