Jason Aldean Introduces Crowd Favorite "Relentless" To Radio And Television Audiences -- "Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson" Among TV Appearances
Nashville, Tenn. (April 9, 2008) – Award-winning country music singer Jason Aldean will debut the title track off his Gold-certified sophomore album RELENTLESS for radio and television audiences next week, highlighted by a performance of the new release on the “Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson” on Thursday, April 17.
Coming off the heels of yet another Top 5 single, “Relentless” is one of the most meaningful album tracks to the music industry underdog, who survived two bad label deals only to triumph on Nashville’s premiere indy label Broken Bow Records.
“We named the second album ‘Relentless’ in honor of this song and all the hard work we’ve done to finally have some success,” said Aldean. “We have five hits under our belt now, but this is the song that the fans have been crazy for since we put the album out, so we are making it a single in honor of everyone who comes to our shows and sings it back to us.”
Aldean will also make appearances on GAC’s Opry Live this Saturday, the 2008 CMT Music Awards on Monday, April 14 and Los Angeles’ No. one rated morning show, KTLA Morning News, next Wednesday, April 16, where he will perform both “Johnny Cash” and “Relentless.”
Aldean has been consistently selling out his RELENTLESS ’08 tour dates in theatres and small arenas across the country since it rolled out in January. He has been handpicked by Tim McGraw to open the “Live Your Voice” tour, starting May 9 in Tampa, FL and continuing on to 30 major markets through the summer.

The two albums have produced four hit singles (“Hicktown,” “Why,” “Amarillo Sky” and “Johnny Cash) and four #1 videos to date, along with multiple industry award nominations including CMA’s prestigious “Horizon Award.” His current single “Laughed Until We Cried” is already a Top 15 hit and climbing. Praised by critics and fans alike for his high-energy live show, Aldean has been working audiences since he was 14 in bars and clubs across the Southeast. “I’m excited to get a chance to work with Tim,” says Aldean. “I came up through the clubs covering his music every night, so going on tour with him now definitely feels surreal.”

Jason Aldean Rockets to the Top
Upcoming Appearances include "Good Morning America", "Fox & Friends", "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" and "Jimmy Kimmel Live"
Nashville, TN (June 5, 2007) - More than tripling first week sales of his debut album, rising country music star Jason Aldean's second Broken Bow Records album - RELENTLESS - lands at No. 1 on Billboard's Country Albums Chart and No. Four on the all-genre Top 200 chart this week with scans totaling over 90,000. Additionally, those numbers are enough to anchor Aldean as the third best country album debut of the year, following only behind music superstars Tim McGraw and Martina McBride.
"We've been out on the road trying to win audiences over one at a time with our live show, but you never know if that energy is going to translate into album sales," said Aldean. "This is definitely a career highlight so far, and I am really looking forward to being at CMA Music Fest this week, so I can thank all the fans personally!"
"To say that Jason is the hottest and most charismatic star to break into Nashville in years is an understatement," notes Bob Morelli, President, RED distribution. "It's unprecedented in the current music industry climate to see an indy artist come out of the box with such impressive numbers on a second album. It is a testament to Jason's talent and the hard work of Broken Bow Records. We are thrilled to be a part of their team."
The award-winning Georgia native is currently preparing for a busy week ahead of media appearances, autograph signings, live performances and charity events. He will jet to New York for a performance of his smash hit single "Johnny Cash" on "Good Morning America" tomorrow, before returning to Nashville for a full schedule of CMA Music Festival activities including a Platinum Party to celebrate his debut album on Thursday, a stadium performance at LP Field on Friday, followed by his 3rd Annual Concert For the Cure charity event to benefit Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation later that night at the Wildhorse Saloon. Other national media appearances in the coming weeks include "Fox & Friends" (June 9), "Tonight Show with Jay Leno" (June 27) and a July stop at "Jimmy Kimmel Live" .
Aldean will hit the road again with superstar group Rascal Flatts this summer and through the fall playing sold out arenas across the country. For other upcoming appearances and tour dates, visit the newly relaunched www.jasonaldean.com

Concert for the Cure
THIRD ANNUAL JASON ALDEAN CONCERT FOR THE CURE SET FOR FRIDAY, JUNE 8, 2007
Nashville, TN (May 15, 2007) - Rising country music star Jason Aldean will once again host his annual Concert For The Cure during CMA Music Festival at the Wildhorse Saloon to benefit the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. Following his stadium appearance, Aldean will headline the late night show with surprise special guests stopping by throughout the night to lend support and silent auction items available from some of country music's biggest names.
"Last year, all the fans were really supportive of the show and came to the Wildhorse ready to party," says Aldean. "The band and I had as much fun as they did, so there was no question we wanted to do this again. It's a great time for a great cause."
Breast cancer touched Aldean personally when a close family friend passed away from the disease at only 26 years of age. Since that tragic loss, Aldean has been committed to lending his celebrity in the search for a cure. He has also partnered with Komen to support their activities during October's Breast Cancer Awareness Month and last year appeared in public service campaigns helping raise awareness for the organization.
"They say that one in nine women are diagnosed with breast cancer, and that number is really frightening to me," explains Aldean. "I have a running joke going about how I'm outnumbered by all the women in my life, but for those women, I take this seriously."
Tickets range from $20 to $35 and are available through www.jasonaldean.com and the Wildhorse Saloon. A limited number of VIP Packages including tickets in the exclusive VIP lounge, meet & greet passes and other concert opportunities will also be available through Aldean's web site.
