Jason Aldean Hits Home Run with MLB Stadium Shows

Greenroom PRThis weekend, Jason Aldean kicks off a five-night run at Major League Baseball stadiums with two sell-outs in Ohio. Friday he’ll play Progressive Field in Cleveland, before heading to Cincinnati’s Great American Ball Park on Saturday.

“This stadium run is something I've been looking forward to all year,” Jason says. “I dreamed of playing MLB stadiums since I was six in Little League and watch games at these stadiums every season.  It's wild to stand on the mound during load in and watch an empty park totally come alive with our production and crazy, loud fans.  These next two weeks will definitely be something I look back on with unbelievable pride and gratitude."

The stadium concerts are an extension of the 2014 Burn It Down tour with Florida Georgia Line and Tyler Farr. Miranda Lambert joins the boys this weekend and at PNC Park in Pittsburgh on Saturday July 26. MLB dates in D.C. and Philadelphia round out the run.

Thursday morning, Kenny Chesney will release the details of his only concert scheduled so far this year-- the Flora-Bama-Jama. The August 16 show takes its name from its location:  the Flora-Bama bar on the beach at the Florida-Alabama border. Kenny took a break from touring in 2014, as he focused on his new CD, The Big Revival, due out September 23.

“I’ve been holed up making a record for the last year... and anyone who knows me knows how much I miss playing, miss the fans, but especially miss the culture the people who love this music bring with them,” he says. “Obviously, this isn’t going to be one of those huge shows we do, but it’s gonna be a long day, a whole lotta music and even more fun.”

A clip from Kenny will be posted Thursday at 7 a.m. CT on his website, as well as specifics about how to get a free wrist band to enter the enclosed area where Orange Beach and Gulf Shores meet Perdido Key.

Hunter Hayes Gives Fans A Fleeting Glimpse of His “Tattoo” Video

Warner Music NashvilleEven though he's keeping the premise of the music video for "Tattoo" a secret, Hunter Hayes has released a teaser clip that goes behind the scenes of the shoot. It was filmed on the outskirts of Nashville in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, at least partially inside a large warehouse. The 23-second preview shows Hunter playing the guitar and chatting with an attractive brunette in front of a wall that resembles the back of a large white building.

 “[‘Tattoo’] is about inspiration," Hunter says. “It’s about that moment when you meet somebody and you’re inspired by them and all you want is to encourage them as much as they’ve motivated you. And that’s the fun of it -- meeting that person you’re crazy about.”

We'll have to wait until July 28 to see the finished "Tattoo" video when it premieres on CMT. In the meantime, expect more teases from Hunter's camp.

Writing “I Don’t Dance” Signaled the Start of Lee Brice’s New Album

Curb RecordsWhen he wrote his latest top 10 hit, “I Don’t Dance,” Lee Brice says he knew it was time to start a new record.

“We could've come with another single or two off of Hard 2 Love, and the label actually really wanted to,” he recalls, “but I asked them, I said, ‘Guys, I feel like the next step [is] these songs -- this next record.’”

Lee says the song took a change in his personal life and carried it through to the music he was making.

“That's where I was at in my life… I was getting married, having a new young'un. Every part of my life, the joy of my life came from home. So, it just fell out all over a lot of the songs that I was writing,” he says.

You can hear those songs when I Don’t Dance the album comes out September 9.
