Aaron Lewis grew up in Vermont listening to his grandparents’ country 8-tracks. Those roots inspired the multi-platinum Staind founder to return to his origins for the #1 Billboard Country Album debut Town Line and Sinner, as well as his 2021 hit “Am I The Only One,” only the ninth song to debut at #1 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart.

Having recorded with George Jones, Willie Nelson, Charlie Daniels, Alison Krauss and Vince Gill, Lewis has put a traditionalist brand on his outlier country. His latest album, Frayed At Both Ends, showcases the hard-touring, 15 million-selling working man’s country star at his most personal and unplugged – making for an intimate record that reflects his 2024 acoustic tour.
