Aaron Lewis & The Stateliners Perform a Sold Out Show in Marietta, Ohio

Aaron Lewis & The Stateliners brought their Frayed at Both Ends Tour to The Adelphia Music Hall for a sold-out show on June 2nd to open the Summer Concert Series. Performing both with a full band and an acoustic set, their extensive set list captivated the audience.

Be it country or rock with his band Staind, Lewis’s amazing vocal talent is on point even with a splendid country drawl. One can tell, he was definitely made to be a musician. Introduced to country music by his grandfather as a child, Lewis’ interest was rekindled when he toured with fellow rock and occasional country singer Kid Rock. Beginning in 2010, he has pursued a solo career in country music. His debut EP Town Line was released in 2011. Since then, Lewis has recorded with George Jones, Charlie Daniels, Vince Gill, Alison Krauss, and Ben Haggard. He has claimed two #1 Billboard Country Album debuts for his albums Town Line and Sinner. And Lewis’ single “Am I The Only One” debuted on Billboard’s #1 Hot Country Song.

Lewis began their performance with a fabulous rendition of “The Pledge of Allegiance” and the entire crowd joined in. The American theme was fully represented with a flag backdrop, blue and red lighting, and starbursts of light later in the set. Chants of “USA” were heard throughout the evening.

Starting off with his hit “Country Boy” the audience instantly began singing along. Then came other hits such as “Sinner”, “Granddadd’ys Gun”, “It Keeps on Workin’”. Lewis also played Staind favorites such as “Right Here” and “It’s Been a While”. Later in the set were more hits from the earlier days including “The Road”, “God & Guns”, “Mama”, “If I were a Liberal” and “That AIn’t Country”. After taking a slight break they returned as an acoustic duo. Playing titles off the Frayed at Both Ends album which released in January. Titles included were “Pull Me Under”, “Everybody Talks to God” and “They Call Me Doc”, which Lewis specified was written by a medic that did eight tours of duty. Next, he stated that this is not usually what this part of show is reserved for and interacted with the audience then played part of “Purple Rain”, and then “Iconic” by Alantis Morissette. After playing the Staind hit “Outside”, Lewis spoke of his frustration with current events. The performance ended with song “Am I The Only One?”, which was released July 4,2021 as a protest to America’s leadership.

It was a fabulous evening of country, Southern rock and American soul that reminds you where your heart should be and renews the sprit. An excellent concert experience where all in attendance had a good time. The hometown feel was a great way to kick off the summer!

In 2008 he performed his song “Butte America on the Late Show with Dave Letterman. Montana has opened for Kid Rock and co-written two singles for his “Sweet Southern Sugar” album, one being the top 10 country hit “Tennessee Mountain Top”.

Montana has also collaborated and performed with Billy Gibbons many times. They have co-written songs like “Weed and Whiskey,” “Rust and Red” and “Fifty Fifty.” In 2013, the pair wrote “This Beard Came Here to Party,” which was the theme song of the Boston Red Sox as they fought to a World Series championship.
