On the Way — Jason Aldean with Ash Bowers, Sept. 12, @ The AMP
August 6th, 2008 at 2:19 pm
He’s back. Less than seven months after playing the Fort Smith Convention Center on his 31st birthday on Feb. 28, rising country sensation Jason Aldean will head back to the area for an 8 p.m. Sept. 12 show at the Arkansas Music Pavilion. Gates open at 6 p.m.
Since first entering the mainstream country scene in 2005, Aldean has enjoyed several hits, including “Why,” which reached No. 1 on Billboard Hot Country Singles chart in 2005. Other notable songs include “Amarillo Sky,” “Hicktown,” and most recently from his album “Relentless,” released in 2007, “Johnny Cash” and “Laughed Until We Cried.”
Opening the show will be Ash Bowers, an up-and-coming singer-songwriter from Jackson, Tenn. Bowers’ career received a boost last September after his CD impressed the ears of the president of Broken Bow Records, the same record company of Aldean.
Tickets are $25. An e-mail from the concert’s promoter, TCB Concerts, states that tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday (Aug. 8), but it appears that tickets are already available at the AMP’s Web site. Tickets can also be picked up at George’s Majestic Lounge in Fayetteville and at the Northwest Arkansas Mall in Fayetteville.
