JASON ALDEAN INTRODUCES HIS MOST ADVENTUROUS ALBUM YET – REARVIEW TOWN – OUT APRIL 13

“You Make It Easy” Immediately Released as Lead Single Ahead of Performances Next Week on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and TODAY

Nashville, TN – January 26, 2018 – On the heels of announcing his massive High Noon Neon Tour, two-time and reigning ACM Entertainer Of The Year Jason Aldean now reveals he’s also readying new music. REARVIEW TOWN, his eighth studio album, will be out on April 13 and fans are getting a first-listen of new music today with the release of its lead single “You Make It Easy”. Aldean’s raw vocal fronts the tender, blues-lined track that is now available at Country Radio, with all digital partners and the full album can be pre-ordered by visiting here. Next week, Aldean will head to the East Coast to debut “You Make It Easy” live on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Monday (1/29 at 10:35P CT on NBC) and TODAY on Tuesday (1/30 at 8:00A on NBC). 

“Growing up in Macon, Georgia, I had a chance to learn about so many different styles of music,” Aldean explains. “Looking back on first playing in bands as a teenager, I was just soaking everything up. A lot of that comes out on this record…where I’ve been, and who I am now.”

The new single finds Aldean heading for the well-worn sounds of hometown heroes Otis Redding and the Allman Brothers Band, kicking off REARVIEW TOWN’s fiercely confident set that catapults between traditional country grooves, stadium-sized rock riffs and rap-style boom-thwacks, certain to add fire to a career that’s already witnessed 19 chart-topping hits. USA Today exclusively broke the new music news this morning.

Aldean has always been akin to his fans and his new album REARVIEW TOWN is full of vignettes of life laid over electrifying rock n’ roll and country sounds, building upon that history. The upcoming album follows his last three albums that each bowed at No. 1 on the all-genre Billboard 200 albums chart and all seven of his previous LPs have achieved Platinum certification or better, tallying more than 15 million total album sales and 19 No. 1 hits. His wide-open approach has made him a perennial live-show favorite for the format: Aldean has headlined many of the biggest stadiums in the United States, and this year, Aldean will launch his HIGH NOON NEON TOUR tour on May 10.  For more information and for a full list of upcoming tour dates, www.jasonaldean.com.

Jason Aldean Unveils 2018 High Noon Neon Tour

Superstar announces 34-city trek with support from Luke Combs and Lauren Alaina.

Jason Aldean has announced his new summer tour. Named for a song on Aldean’s forthcoming album, the High Noon Neon Tour opens with a May 10th show at the Sprint Center in Kansas City, Missouri, and heads on to arenas and amphitheaters, including Madison Square Garden and Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena, before wrapping up September 29th in California.

Brothers Osborne will also perform in the tribute to those who died in concert tragedies last year

Notably absent from the itinerary are some of the famed stadiums Aldean has played in the past, including Boston’s Fenway Park and Hersheypark Stadium in Hershey, Pennsylvania, though he does have a July 21st show at SunTrust Park, home to the Atlanta Braves. Luke Combs and Lauren Alaina, both of whom are coming off major breakthroughs in 2017, will support.

The High Noon Tour will be Aldean’s first major trek since he wrapped up his 2017 touring season on October 28th, less than a month after his set at the Route 91 Harvest Festival in Las Vegas was interrupted by a gunman’s deadly attack. Shortly after the incident, Aldean made a triumphant, defiant return to the stage in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and delivered one of the most emotional performances of his career.

The Georgia native’s most recent single was “They Don’t Know,” a Number Three-charting hit that served as the title track on his seventh full-length album. There’s no official word on when the follow-up LP will appear, but Aldean has consistently released his albums every other fall since 2010’s My Kinda Party. They Don’t Know made its debut in September 2016.
