New single, “Granddaddy’s Gun,” set to launch
NASHVILLE,
Tenn. (May 23, 2013) – Hit singer/songwriter Aaron Lewis will make his
debut on the historic Grand Ole Opry Tuesday May 28, 2013 along with a
star-studded lineup that includes Bill Anderson, Ricky Skaggs, Josh
Turner, Dustin Lynch, Craig Campbell and Sam Palladio (from the ABC hit
show “Nashville”) among others. The show starts at 7:00 pm. Tickets
range from $35 to $57 and can be purchased at www.opry.com or by phone at 1-800-SEE-OPRY.
“Getting to play the Grand Ole Opry is such an incredible honor,”
says Lewis. “It’s a dream come true to think that I’ll get to stand in
that same iconic circle where music royalty has stood.”
Aaron’s new single “Granddaddy’s Gun,” from of his
critically-acclaimed album The Road, ships to country radio next week.
The powerful song focuses on the nostalgic experience of passing down a
family heirloom. The song, written by Rhett Akins, Dallas Davidson and
Bobby Pinson is a perfect reflection of Lewis’ own childhood and deep
country roots.
“‘Granddaddy’s Gun’ is the only song on the album that I didn’t
write,” Lewis notes. “In fact, it’s the only song I’ve ever recorded
that I didn’t write. But the minute Rhett played it for me, it took me
right back to my childhood. It’s my story. It’s a song I could have
written.”
