Brad Paisley has dominated the country music scene on land for decades, but the singer-songwriter is looking to test out his talents underwater.
Paisley will be part of Discovery Channel’s upcoming Shark Week series for an episode titled “Brad Paisley’s Shark Country.”
CMT reports that joining Paisley will be comedian JB Smoove, marine scientist Dr. Austin Gallagher and a slew of sharks. The show will test out if Paisley’s music will attract or repel an extra toothy audience in the waters of the Bahamas.
Via a press release, comedian Smooth says, “Me and Brad [Paisley] attempt to see if sharks have a taste for country or comedy… so don’t miss what happens.”
The comedic country show will air July 13 @ 9PM ET, right in the heat of Discovery Channel’s Shark Week content, which kicks off July 11 and comes to a close July 18.
But Paisley isn’t the only star stepping into shark spotlight — Discovery Channel’s Shark Week will host a number of popular celebrities for some shark encounters! Familiar faces on the line up include Tiffany Haddish, David Dobrik, Robert Irwin, Mark Rober and Noah Schnapp.
The fan-favorite series is currently in its 33rd year of broadcast and will be embarking on 45 hours of shark-approved content. To watch Paisley’s episode and all other episodes, fans can watch Shark Week on Discovery and discovery+.
Leading up to the highly anticipated Shark Week, fans can get a bite of shark content starting now! According to Deadline, Discovery and discovery+ are showcasing sharks all month long with a shark movie festival beginning July 1 on discovery+.
Flicks on the list include the Sharknado series, Mega Shark vs. Octopus, Mega Shark vs. Mecha Shark, 2-Head Shark Attack, and 3-Headed Shark Attack.
