JASON CLAIMS 7TH CONSECUTIVE #1 SONG WITH “THE ONLY WAY I KNOW”

The second single off his PLATINUM, #1 album NIGHT TRAIN, “The Only Way I Know” is Jason’s 11th career #1.

“Having Eric and Luke come sing on this track with me was one of the highlights of recording the album,” said Aldean. “We are buddies off the road and outside of the music business, so this one is extra special for me. After my first No. one song back in 2006, I worried I may never have another one. Thankfully, we’ve been able to rack up a few of them in a row recently, and I have a lot of people to thank for that.”

Aldean is gearing up for his 2013 NIGHT TRAIN TOUR which begins Feb. 21 in Bossier City, LA with stops in 24 cities through May, including a Madison Square Garden show (3/2) that sold out in less than 10 minutes. Jake Owen and Thomas Rhett will open for Aldean on the tour which also includes sold out stadium shows at the University of Georgia’s Sanford Stadium (4/13), Boston’s Fenway Park (7/12 and 7/13) and Chicago’s Wrigley Field (7/20).

I am blown away that my show sold out that quickly…it makes me even more excited to hit rehearsals this month and get the Night Train tour on the road. I can’t wait to see you, New York!”

It will be Jason’s first-ever show at the New York City location. He will be joined by special guests Jake Owen and Thomas Rhett as the tour kicks off Feb. 21 in Bossier City, LA.
