Aaron adds his new song, “Drill Here, Drill Now,” as well, which has garnered much media attention in the last few months.Aaron Tippin represents real, hardworking people and the hard work shows.

The songs are all recorded in a studio but have the sound of being live in front of an audience.This being their first studio album after two live ones brings together the best of both worlds. This group of young men are defining their niche in the music world. A project with lyrics that flow easily and blend with the amazing talents of the musicians lend to a welcoming gritty and honest sound, combining Americana with the roots of Country and Rock.Definitely a band that is garnering national attention for well deserved reasons. 1.
