Country musician sensation Jason Aldean takes the Grandstand Stage at the Washington State Fair on Sunday, Sept. 24, part of the Columbia Bank Concert Series.

With his seventh album, They Don’t’ Know, Aldean continues to lead the way, advancing the sounds and style that helped define today’s country music.

With his first release since 2014’s Old Boots, New Dirt – which debuted at number one on the Billboard album chart – the reigning Academy of Country Music Entertainer of the Year returns with a crowd-pleasing array of emotions and observations, from sizzling party-starters to hard-earned heartbreak.
