Jason Aldean

Jason Aldean’s interest in music was sparked when he attended concerts by such legendary musicians as Kenny Rogers, the Gatlin Brothers and Alabama when he was a boy. From then on, his father began teaching the young Aldean how to play guitar, and Jason would then teach himself songs by listening to the radio. His first public performance was at the VFW Hall in his hometown of Macon, Ga. when he was 14. Since then, Jason has successfully made a name for himself in country music, releasing his self-titled debut album in 2005. Hits from this record include “Why,” “Hicktown” and “Amarillo Sky.” His most recent album, Wide Open, contains his popular singles, “She’s Country” and “Big Green Tractor.”

Eli Young Band

The Eli Young Band’s music has all three hallmarks of youth: excitement, energy and passion. This comes from eight long years of honing the band’s sound while building its first national album, Jet Black & Jealous, featuring a mix of modern country and solid rock. The popular singles “When It Rains” and “Always the Love Songs” were greeted with great success and re-emphasized that the Eli Young Band will soon become a musical force to be reckoned with.
