Aaron Tippin April 27, 2012

Aaron Tippin, or as some in the music business affectionately refer to him, the Hillbilly Hercules is not your typical country artist. He is also a farmer, winemaker, pilot, outdoorsman, competitive bodybuilder and record label owner (Nippit Records). That is enough to keep anyone busy, but it is not slowing down Aaron. His latest release was the 2009 album In Overdrive which is a dedication to the truck drivers of the world, the highway heroes as he calls them. They were always the true country music lovers, but the genre seems to have gotten away from them lately. Aaron felt this album would reel them back into country music once again. Aaron is also a big favorite for America’s fighting forces and he has played several concerts for our military personnel. Right after 9/11, Aaron put to music a song he had penned that he felt was rather apropos to the situation going on in New York, “Where The Stars And Stripes And The Eagle Fly.” Over the years, Aaron has had over 30 singles on the Billboard Hot Country Chart.

Opening Act: Nicole Donatone
Although her name has a ring to it, Nicole Donatone’s voice has a clarity and character that has propelled her to early success as a performing artist. With a voice that has been compared to the legendary Patsy Cline, her unmistakable talent has earned her opening act status with stars such as Willie Nelson, Connie Smith, John Michael Montgomery, Tracy Byrd, Sammy Kershaw, Restless Heart, and Randy Travis. Nicole has recently performed at the AT&T Pavilion Pre Show before the Keith Urban and Jake Owen Concert in Philadelphia. Her new album features her first single “Red”. This energetic song features fun filled lyrical imagery, with vibrant and rich vocals that will leave you wanting more. Once you take a listen to this compelling song you just may turn “Red” too! The video was directed by Grammy Award winner Jim Shea.
