BOSTON (AP) - Jason Aldean will be making history at one of baseball's most
historic sites.
Aldean will be the first country music star to play a concert at Fenway
Park, the iconic home of the Boston Red Sox. The July 13 appearance will be the
initial stop on his first stadium tour. Aldean made the announcement Thursday
in the shadow of the Green Monster with an assist from Red Sox executives.
Members of the team made a celebratory clip for the singer that played on
Fenway's video board.
The Georgia native released his fifth album, "Night Train," this
week. That title is an apt metaphor for his career, which has been steaming
along on a steep trajectory.
Aldean is one of country's top draws. His yearlong "My Kinda
Party" tour wraps later this month after more than 1.9 million tickets
sold.
