Jason Aldean Reveals Items Featured in Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum Exhibit

The Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum houses many precious artifacts that helped shape the lives of country’s biggest stars. On May 26, Jason Aldean will be one of the artists featured within the hallowed halls in the new exhibition, Jason Aldean: Asphalt Cowboy, Presented by Field & Stream.

Featuring some of Aldean’s most precious items, the themed exhibit will showcase much of the Georgia native’s life growing up and his development into one of country music’s biggest stars.

“In ‘Asphalt Cowboy’ Jason sings about running underneath the stars on a ride that won’t let him go,” said museum CEO Kyle Young. “Years of touring across the country, burning up the asphalt, have led him to country music superstardom on a ride that’s far from over. We are pleased that he will join Luke Bryan, Miranda Lambert, Blake Shelton, Taylor Swift and Carrie Underwood among the contemporary artists we have featured in special summer exhibits examining country music in the twenty-first century.”

“I could not be more honored to have an exhibit at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum,” said the reigning ACM Entertainer of the Year. “To look around the space and see my personal heroes and artists who helped shape country music is a surreal feeling. To be a part of a legacy like this really is a dream come true.”

In addition to featuring his most precious memories, Aldean has teamed up with his longtime partner brand Field & Stream to help bridge the gap between his life as a country superstar and his life as an outdoorsman.

“When we first started working with Jason, it was our goal to create an authentic partnership with someone who is genuinely passionate about the outdoors” said Lauren Hobart, executive vice president & chief customer & digital officer, DICK’S Sporting Goods. “We are not only thrilled to be supporting Jason’s exhibit at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, but we’re excited to help bring country music fans and outdoor enthusiasts closer to the music they enjoy.”
