Did you know that country singer Brad Paisley is a fellow Scottish Rite Freemason? Brother Paisley, 32º, was inducted into the Scottish Rite on October 28, 2006.

He is also a Shriner.

The Brotherhood had an immense impact on his life and the company he keeps– his father was a Mason, and his keyboardist, Brother Kendall Marcy, became a 32º Scottish Rite Freemason alongside him.
