Fri. Feb. 28: AARON WATSON “Buy The World A Round Tour” -7:30pm- $35.00
Aaron Watson’s career is perhaps summed up best by Forbes, who says he’s “one of country
music’s biggest DIY success stories.” For over 20 years now, Aaron Watson has traveled the
land as country’s ultimate underdog troubadour – a truly independent artist with the spirit of the
American frontier in his veins, and a self-made empire to match. Working without corporate
backers, he has nonetheless reached the Top 10 of Billboard’s Country Album chart five separate
times – an impressive feat by any standard – and that includes his triumphant 2015 set, The
Underdog, which landed at #1, becoming the first independent album in the history of country
music to top the Billboard Country Albums chart. Matching sold-out shows across the country
with homegrown hits, he’s followed suit at country radio, making history in 2017 with “Outta
Style” and “Run Wild Horses.” “Watson has made a career out of giving his fans music that
focuses on the positive. Music that serves as a salve to what ails them. Music filled with light and
joy and an abundance of pride for the country he calls home,” said People.com of the 2021
American Soul album. Still pushing into the wind, Unwanted Man finds a creative renegade
continuing to do what he does best, now working at the most “dangerous” level of his career.
With a dozen additional records under his belt, Watson is exceeding major-label-sized metrics
while maintaining his independence, further galvanizing his “Texas country’s reigning indie
underdog” (Rolling Stone) brand. “There may be no more genuine singer-songwriter at the
moment than Watson,” says Texas Monthly, pointing to a self-made businessman, chart-topper,
and road warrior whose authenticity has made him a country music staple.
