With Release of Reverent New Single “The Old Man Said”
Nashville, Tenn. — Following the release of his reverent new single “The Old Man Said,” Aaron Waston is will perform live at Brooklyn Bowl in Nashville, TN Friday, August 26, 2022 with special guest Erin Kinsey, after a long road to recovery from a granuloma in his throat that left him unable to sing, off the road from touring since Mid-April.
In over 20 years of his career, Watson has never before been forced to cancel a string of shows, yet he demonstrated grit and grace in the face of adversity, as the ailment hit him amid the release of his latest album, Unwanted Man. Now healthy, Watson is more eager than ever to return to the stage for a sensational summer.
“It was definitely a frustrating and scary time, especially in the beginning not knowing what was going on with my voice, but that something was definitely wrong,” Watson said of the challenging experience. “I’m so grateful to have had the best care and prayers from the best fans to get me through these past few months.”
While Watson wasn’t able to use his voice, his friends and fans spoke up across social media platforms with an overwhelmingly positive reaction to his current album, Unwanted Man, which takes the listener on a full circle journey from isolation and despair to loving redemption. Watson wrote and/or co-wrote all eleven songs on the album, showcasing both his trademark love songs in “When I See You” and “Nothing On You” to his popular classic up-tempo romps with “Cheap Seats” and “Heck Of A Song.”
People.com exclusively premiered the highly anticipated album, Unwanted Man, featuring the new single, “Dancing Around the Truth” which is now available on all platforms HERE.
“I’m really excited to be back out on the road, playing music with the band and seeing all the fans. It feels really great to be on stage again and I’m looking forward to all the dates we have coming up performing across the country,” said Waston.
Watson’s independent spirit and strong work ethic are symbolic of the western lifestyle; virtues which have taken him from humble honky-tonk roots to a bona fide fixture in the country music landscape. “I want to make the music that I am proud of and has no chains or restrictions, from my heart to the fans ears,” Watson told Whiskey Riff in a recent podcast interview. Unwanted Man is expected to serve as a beacon of authenticity to country fans far and wide.
