Aaron Lewis biography

Aaron Lewis is an American singer and musician from Rutland, Vermont. Born in 1972, Aaron Lewis is well known for forming the nu metal band Staind. More recently, Aaron Lewis has moved into country music.

Aaron Lewis is well known for his musical versatility, which he has proved ten fold with his success with the metal band Staind and as a solo country artist. Releasing seven albums with Staind, Lewis proved his musical abilities over and over with the band but also continued to play solo acoustic shows throughout his time with them.

These solo shows paved the way for the step into country music. This might have felt like a drastic move for some but to Aaron Lewis this was a move that was a long time coming. Growing up listening to country music with his grandfather, Aaron Lewis moving to country was always an inevitability. In 2010, Lewis released his first country EP, “Town Line”, which climbed to number seven on the US Billboard 200 chart and hit the number one spot on the US Country Albums chart.

Two years later Aaron Lewis released his first solo studio album, “The Road”. The album was well received, peaking at number 30 on the US Billboard 200 and number seven on the US Country Albums chart. The album spawned one top 40 country single, “Endless Summer”.

A truly versatile talent, Aaron Lewis has collaborated with multiple artists across multiple genres including Kid Rock, Limp Bizkit, Cold and Sevendust. In no way a shy performer, Aaron Lewis has been known for calling fans out on their bad behaviour during shows, but this performer is in no way a party pooper. Fans come back again and again to see him do his thing and do it well.

Live reviews

Seeing Aaron Lewis in concert is like seeing no other. He is a true artist and a gift to the music industry. His voice is mesmerizing and soothing to the soul. No two concerts are the same. You could see him two nights in a row and hear completely different shows.
During his acoustic solo tours, he sits on stage with his guitars and just talks and sings to the crowd as if they were all best friends. He tells very entertaining stories about his life between songs and sometimes even during songs if he feels inspired to do so. The audience usually just yells out requests and he obliges.
There are no musical boundaries for him. He is extremely down to earth and a truly respectful man. He stands up for his beliefs and ideas, and does not hold back! His country tours are just as entertaining. He will definitely surprise you with the level of talent that he exudes.
When touring with Staind, a somewhat rougher Aaron rears his head and he releases the inner angry soul that usually is contained in other shows. No matter what show you see, he is a true entertainer and a fan of his fans. Aaron Lewis is a must see! You will not be disappointed!
