[Editor’s Note: Our sincere apologies to Jason Aldean and his team for the delay in posting this article. Due to a summer full of sickness, computer issues, and a few short trips, many things got pushed back. This was a fantastic show for Jason. In addition to his three Enter of the Year awards and 30 number one hits, he is unquestionably one of Nashville’s most highly respected country artists.]
[Press Release] ACM Artist of the Decade and 3X Entertainer of the Year, Country powerhouse Jason Aldean brought his FULL THROTTLE tour to Bridgestone Arena in Nashville last night, playing “an amazing show” (Parade) with a jam-packed set list of 22 hits to the sold-out crowd. Having solidified his “Country superstar status” (Variety) with 30 No. 1 career hits at Country radio, nearly 20 billion streams, and more than 20 million albums sold with “his own recipe…one that has vaulted him to the pinnacle of Country music success” (Atlanta Journal Constitution), Aldean headlined the venue “for the fifth time in 13 years” (The Tennessean) and showcased his reigning Artist of the Decade status to the crowd at Bridgestone, who sang every word of the show’s setlist. The “event highlighted that the enduring vocal quality and earnest storytelling of the performer have allowed him to usher in a new career chapter” (The Tennessean).
Prior to the show, Aldean was honored with a SoundExchange Hall Of Fame Award, presented by SoundExchange’s Associate Director of Artist & Industry Relations Marc Rucker, for being among the most streamed artists of all time.
