CMT Tour Kicks Off

Jason Aldean and Lady Antebellum hit the road for CMT on Tour ‘08, starting Wednesday, Oct. 8, in Cullowhee, N.C.

The tour includes a number of college towns, whose young crowds make up the bulk of both artists’ fan bases. “Even as this thing grows, our fans are the same young kids that have always come out to the club shows,” says Jason. “They come to forget about school or work or whatever and have a good time, and that’s what we are going to give them.” Also joining this year's tour is rising star Eric Durrance.
