Aaron Lewis Plans a Montana Takeover This August
Whether you still scream-sing “It’s Been Awhile” every time it comes on the air or you’ve warmed to his country stuff while hitting the cruise control on I-90, Aaron Lewis is coming to Montana this August. Not for one show but three. He’s hitting Libby, Emigrant, and Missoula on his “American As It Gets” tour alongside The Stateliners.
First stop: Happy’s Inn in Libby on Aug. 8th, a venue with major dive bar energy in the best possible way. This is the kind of place where beer is cold and the music sounds different under a Montana sunset. Then, Aaron rolls into The Old Saloon in Emigrant on Aug. 9th. Which, according to "Yellowstone" lore, is the location of the Dutton Ranch and already seems like a movie set for someone’s emotional country comeback. Then he wraps the Montana run in Missoula at Big Sky Brewing Company Amphitheater on Aug. 12th, where you can enjoy a always refreshing Summer Honey beer and lean into whatever genre Aaron randomly decides to throw at you.
Aaron Lewis is one of those rare artists who can pivot from radio rock angst to stripped-down acoustic storytelling without losing the room. He knows how to hit the gut. One moment, you’re head-nodding to something Staind-y, the next, you’re standing still wondering why that one country ballad suddenly made you think of your ex and your old dog.
If you’ve ever cranked Staind up too high in your truck or sat through country music while finally begrudgingly admitting, “All right, this one’s not so bad,” this tour’s for you.
