Country vocalist and guitarist Jason Aldean was born in Macon, GA, in 1977. His parents separated when he was three years old, and he spent his childhood with his mother in Macon through the school year at a time of spending the summers with his father in Homestead, FL. He fell early under the spell of country songs and made his first public appearance as a vocalist at a VFW hall in Macon when he was 14 years old. Soon he was a regular at area talent contests, and a year later he joined the house ensemble at Nashville South in Macon.

Aldean began pursuing a material career on a full-time basis not long after his graduation from high school and, with his father as a booking agent, was soon gigging in college towns throughout the Southeast and up and down the Eastern Seaboard. Aldean privately financed an eight-song CD at a time of this period to sell at shows, recording it in Nashville in 1996.

Michael Knox spotted Aldean at an Atlanta showcase a year or two later, and signed the vocalist to a songwriting record deal with Warner-Chapell Publishing, which allowed Aldean to move to Nashville in 1998. When a couple of recording deals fell through and his songwriting contract was about to expire, Aldean was on the verge of giving up on the songs business when he drew in the attention of the independent label Broken Bow Records, which issued his debut album, simply called Jason Aldean, in 2005. Aldean came back to the studio in January 2007 to work on his follow-up release, Relentless. The album, featuring the single “Johnny Cash,” hit stores in May.

Jason Aldean Caught Cheating

Posted on by

Jason Aldean Caught Canoodling With Woman. Over the weekend, news broke that country music star Jason Aldean had been caught in a very inappropriate situation. The not quite trustworthy and shady in its own right gossip monger, TMZ released photos of Aldean in various phases of flirting, kissing and other PDA with a young woman that was clearly not his wife. This put the country music singer, and up ’til this point CMNB favorite, in a position that made it impossible to deny what he’d done. He owned up to it, siting over intoxication as the culprit, with an apology to fans admitting that he’d been careless. He asked that everyone let him have some privacy to deal with the matter with his family. Here are some things to consider… -He IS a married man. -Along with the majority of his fans, the other woman is aware he IS married. -He did NOT leave with the woman. -This whole mess happened in a VERY public place. Where were his friends, band mates, manager or someone that is closely connected to him when this was happening? Did they not care? Not only that he was disrespecting his wife, but also that he was doing a great deal of damage to his image? The big question is what happens next…will his marriage survive this? Will this cause trouble for his upcoming album release sales? Although this is a private matter, you have to remember that Country Music artist’s private lives are very closely tied to their career. They are known to many as family men or good ole’ boys…they invite fans into their world and whether it is fair or not, fans hold them accountable for ALL of their actions. Take Randy Travis, LeAnn Rimes or Natalie Maines (Dixie Chicks) for example. What do you think? Do you forgive him? Will you still be a fan? Comment below with your opinions.

As a result, Coors Light and Coors Banquet will be Jason’s exclusive beverage sponsor. For his part, Aldean has some nostalgic reasons for agreeing to the sponsorship. “Coors Light is associated with so many of my favorite experiences… tailgating before University of Georgia games, vacations to the beach with my friends, playing bars and clubs when I was coming up in my career. This was a no-brainer partnership for me, and I’m especially looking forward to the fridge full of Coors Light they promised all of us for the road.” -Jason Aldean The Aldean/Coors deal will feature dual-branded retail promotion right in time for the release of Jason’s fifth studio album, “Night Train“. I guess nothin’ goes with country music quite like a cold beer. Well, except maybe a glass of whiskey!

So, for all those fellow Aldean-ites, we’ve gone ahead and put all the details about his highly anticipated upcoming album release, Night Train, in one nice neat spot! Following up his fan and industry favorite, My Kinda Party, Night Train will release on October 16th. The interesting title has its inspiration in Aldean’s tour vehicles. “It’s one of those things where we went from one bus pulling a trailer to all the sudden we’ve got six or seven buses and eight or nine trucks. We’re all rolling down the interstate together at night, and that’s what it looks like. It looks like a big freight train rolling down the interstate. It just kind of to me sums up how far things have come over the last few years.” -Jason Aldean Aldean has already released “Take A Little Ride“, and it looks like there are a lot of great singles on this record! I am especially looking forward to taking a listen to “The Only Way I Know” which features two other CMNB favorites, Luke Bryan and Eric Church! Listen to Aldean’s “Take A Little Ride” Now!

Jason Aldean Has Released His First Single From His Upcoming Album. Jason Aldean has released his latest single, “Take A Little Ride.” The brand new song is the follow up to his successful “Fly Over States,” and will be on his upcoming 5th studio album due out this fall. “Everyone has been asking if the new album is going to be different from the My Kinda Party album. I tried to find the best songs that I could and also ones that fit what I do in my live show. There’s a little bit of everything, including some more traditional country stuff and some songs that might raise a few eyebrows. I thought this would be a great lead single to come with after “Fly Over States”…it’s about grabbing your girl and getting lost in the country. Sounds like a pretty good Friday night to me.” -Aldean I love to hear brand new music from an artist, so I can’t wait to get my hands on this next album that Aldean has in the works! The single is at country radio so be listening for it now!
