"Jason Aldean is on the cusp of becoming a country A-lister," said Matt Liethen, Last Fling co-executive director. "We're looking forward to his hard-rocking stage style and good music."
Just this week, the multi-platinum country rocker snagged the No. 1 spot with his smash hit "She's Country" from his new album "Wide Open," marking Aldean's second career No. 1 hit and his sixth Top 10. "Wide Open" is currently No. 2 on the Billboard Top Country Albums Chart.
"Man, it's hard work to get up to that No. 1 spot, and I don't take it for granted," said Aldean. "I've got a small but mighty team ... from the guys at the label to my crew out on the road. Thanks to them and all my friends at country radio, we'll be celebrating extra hard this week."
Aldean has had quite the career to celebrate, which started in 2005 with his debut platinum-selling album that generated three successive Top 10 hits: "Hicktown," "Why" and "Amarillo Sky."
"We're adding some diversity to the musical genre for the Last Fling this year and Aldean is just right for country lovers," said Kevin Piket, Last Fling co-executive director. "We're looking forward to a great show."
Starting the show at 6 p.m., Colt Ford will serve up some newly styled country music. Ford's musical mixture embodies the seemingly unusual pairing of Southern country and hip-hop musical influences he heard growing up.
