Aldean raises money for the cure

Friday, August 19, 2011 – Jason Aldean announced today that he will donate all proceeds from his Sept. 30th show in Roanoke, Va. to Susan G. Komen for the Cure as part of his 6th Annual Concert For The Cure.

The concert on the eve of breast cancer awareness month will take place at the Roanoke Civic Center. Fans can purchase tickets beginning Aug. 26 at www.HomeTownBankTix.com or www.livenation.com, and those who are not able to attend can make a donation at www.jasonaldean.com.

"Breast cancer is something that's affected me, my family and just about everyone I know," said Aldean. "Last year, we took the benefit on the road and raised a lot of money in Evansville, Ind. It was such an incredible night. I love looking out and seeing all the pink tshirts in the crowd...it's amazing what we can do and how much money we can raise when we all come together for this cause."

The benefit concert is part of Aldean's My Kinda Party Tour, which continues to crisscross the country selling out the nation's biggest amphitheaters with openers Chris Young and Thompson Square.

The opener,"Tattoos and Tequila," breaks it down into tattoos to remember, and tequila to forget. Within its booze for every ...
CD review - Rearview Town If you liked Jason Aldean's three previous number one albums, you'll like "Rearview Town." He sticks to the winning formula that has brought him past success. The 15 tracks are mainly juiced up, muscular numbers with scorching guitar. Ironically, amid the torrid tempos and high volume that dominate the collection, the ballads are the standouts, especially with the duet with the Miranda Lambert on "Drowns The Whiskey." Instead of whiskey drowning a memory, the inverse ...
