Last night (May 25) in front of family, friends and industry insiders, Jason Aldean helped unveil his new Country Music Hall of Fame Exhibit: Asphalt Cowboy.
The new exhibit explores the life and career of the Georgia native and includes childhood mementos, memorabilia from Jason’s early career, stage wear, guitars, awards, photos and more. The exhibit takes its name from the title of a song on Jason’s self-titled debut album in 2005.
“It’s truly an honor for me to be here . . . I think as a singer . . . the pinnacle of what we do is . . . you’re looking at it, right?” said Jason as he addressed the crowd. “To be enshrined in this building at any capacity for any artist is amazing.”
Jason’s new exhibit runs from May 26 through November 5.
