About Aaron Tippin
Aaron Tippin is a force of nature, a man whose passion for music fuels an array of other vigorous enthusiasms. Apart from writing and recording songs and wowing crowds with his live appearances, Aaron is also a pilot, farmer, winemaker, outdoorsman, competitive bodybuilder and devoted family man. He even runs his own record label. It’s no surprise then that so many in the music industry regard this tireless South Carolinian as the "Hillbilly Hercules."
Tippin's hit songs include "I Wouldn't Have It Any Other Way," "There Ain't Nothin' Wrong With The Radio' (an affectionate nod to the kind of automotive clunker most of us have had to rely on at one time or another), "My Blue Angel," "Working Man's Ph. D.," "The Call Of The Wild," "I Got It Honest," "That's As Close As I'll Get To Loving You," "For You I Will," "Kiss This" (a cheeky No. 1 song he co-wrote with his wife and partner-in-everything, Thea).
About Southern Drawl Band
Peruse the schedule for the Southern Drawl Band, and it becomes clear how the local country-rock outfit, in little more than a year, has become one of the hardest-working groups in the East Tennessee music scene.
Every weekend ... at least two nights, often three and sometimes all week long on out-of-town trips to venues as far away as Key West, Fla. ... the Southern Drawl Band hits the stage, and hits it hard. There’s no holding back, no taking time off to make the crowds hungry for a show. The time is now, band co-founder “Nashville” Mike Nash believes, and he and his bandmates are doing everything they can to spread the word, play the shows and capitalize on whatever shot they have of making the group a household name around these parts.
