Aaron Lewis Tour 2023: What to Expect From Staind Frontman’s Concerts
Aaron Lewis is the lead vocalist of the rock band Staind gained mainstream success in the late ‘90s and early ‘00s with their songs “It’s Been Awhile,” “Outside,” and “So Far Away. ” Although Staind is still an active band, they have not released a new album since 2011’s Staind and have not toured since 2012. Since then, Lewis has been concentrating on his solo country music career for the past decade.
Since the release of his first solo album in 2010, Lewis has released six albums that helped him become one of the rawest in the modern country music genre. His most recent album, Frayed at Both Ends released in 2022 has Lewis’s gruff vocal style and explicit lyrics. Outlaw country music songs such as ‘Am I the Only One’ and ‘The Party’s Over’ are some of the songs that represent his inclination toward libertarianism. It peaked at the second position in Billboard’s Top Country Albums list, thus showing that Lewis still has followers who eagerly consume his music.
In 2023, Aaron Lewis is set for a long headlining tour across North America in support of Frayed at Both Ends. The journey starts on January 12 at Cherokee, North Carolina, and continues till May, and in total there are around fifty-nine concerts. It is also a big break for Lewis, who only drove in 2021, and was on the road for most of it.
The new tour is even more intimate where Lewis plays venues he has played before, theater-sized rooms that can hold 2-3,000 people. The audience should prepare for songs primarily from the Frayed at Both Ends alongside some of the previous solo songs and a couple of hits from the Staind band. Simply Lewis and his guitar on the stage will give the shows a raw and stripped-back atmosphere.
Popular for his striking, unapologetic approach on stage, Lewis remains both unpredictable and vulnerable. Although he has toned down a little from his heavier days with Staind, his shows are still very emotional for him and the fans. Lewis’s performance will include some quiet introspection as he shares his struggles through songs such as ‘Am I the Only One’ and ‘God and Guns’ but there will also be fun upbeat numbers where the audience can sing along.
This man is a proud supporter of the US military, and he always takes time during his show to thank veterans or active military personnel. He usually features them during the encore through songs such as “Country Boy” and invites them on the stage. So there is a good possibility that during his 2023 concerts, Lewis will embrace a few military guests on stage.
As for the opening act, although this is a headlining tour where Lewis does not need to have an opening act, he has invited country artists who are still fairly new to the industry such as Jackson Michelson and Confederate Railroad to join him on some of the shows. Therefore, there could be an outside chance that fans would be able to catch a brief opening performance at specific locations. Either way, they can expect to get almost two hours of Aaron Lewis telling his story in song form.
Popular among such people, who number millions, at least in the United States, since the time Lewis embarked on his solo career over a decade ago, his performances enjoy a dedicated following including those who feel touched by the lyrical, unfiltered approach and a patriotic attitude. His 2023 headlining tour will bring him back to the small theaters where the performer listeners connection is more achievable. Although it is still unclear if Staind will return, Aaron Lewis continues to perform his country/rock heart-to-heart concerts for fans all over the country. If you are longing for an adrenaline rush performance, one that offers the very best of intensive live concerts, then you are going to get it when Lewis tours your city this year.
