About Aaron Lewis
Vermont-born singer, songwriter, and powerhouse performer AARON LEWIS first rose to prominence as the lead vocalist of STAIND, the early-2000s hard rock band known for blending emotional depth with muscular intensity. While STAIND remains active, Lewis’ creative evolution led him to embrace his country roots, launching a second, equally successful chapter of his career.
His solo country journey includes two No. 1 Billboard Country Album debuts with TOWN LINE (2011) and SINNER(2016), a Platinum-certified collaboration with George Jones and Charlie Daniels on “Country Boy,” and a Gold-certified Billboard No. 1 hit, “Am I The Only One,” in 2021. Lewis’ 2022 release FRAYED AT BOTH ENDS became the best-selling country album in America, further cementing his place as one of the genre’s most authentic voices.
Never one to chase trends or statistics, Lewis writes and sings to speak his truth. His latest album, THE HILL (2024), continues that tradition, delivering deeply personal songs that resonate regardless of genre labels.
