Aaron Lewis

You may know him as the unpretentious and intro­spective personality at the heart of Staind’s unique sound. With 13 million albums sold worldwide and four consecutive top three debuts on Billboard’s Top 200, their single “It’s Been Awhile” remains the most-played rock song of the decade.

 

In 2011, Aaron Lewis, the Staind frontman formally arrived in the country world with the release of his debut EP, Town Line. Highlighted by the success of gold-selling single “Country Boy” featuring the leg­endary George Jones and Charlie Daniels, the seven-song EP reached #1 on the Billboard Country Albums Chart and #7 on the Billboard Top 200 upon release.

 

Aaron came full circle and returned to the music he grew up on with his first full-length solo country album, The Road. The Grammy Award nominated, multi-platinum singer, songwriter and guitarist tells one story after another echoing traditional country. Some of those tales are hilarious and heartwarming, while others are pensive and personal. Never­theless, they’re all equally power­ful, vibrant and unforgettable. Like Town Line, the album was well-received by both critics and fans.

 

Aaron’s songs give us a glimpse of the man behind the music, but it’s an altogether different thing to see it for yourself. As a man who writes and records music that exhibits who he is as a person, it’s clear that he’s willing to let the world know where he’s come from and where he’s going. For Aaron, The Road continues to wind and surprise like it always has.
