Former Staind frontman Aaron Lewis makes a stop at Stateline this weekend with a solo performance headlining Harrah’s Lake Tahoe on Friday, Sept. 30.

“Lewis’ introspective, personal and relatable lyrics are proof that country music is about lifestyle and values, not necessarily where you were raised.

“Lewis attributes country as something that has always inspired him. Growing up in rural Vermont the singer/songwriter spent summers with his World War II veteran grandfather hunting and fishing. During that time, he developed a love for the land, the woods and the simple life, which still permeates everything he does,” states the artist’s Facebook biography.

Lewis’ debut solo release “Town Line” premiered in 2011 and quickly climbed to No. 1 on Billboard’s Country Album Chart. “Country Boy,” his first solo single, earned him multiple Country Music Awards nominations.

“I was raised on Country music. My grandfather listened to Merle Haggard, Hank Williams, Hank Jr., and all of the greats,” Lewis states in his Facebook biography.

“Those influences are evident on stage in his new songs and in Staind hits he often performs, such as ‘Outside.’ ‘It’s Been Awhile,’ and ‘So Far Away,’” states the biography.

During his time with Staind he recorded seven studio albums and notched five chart-topping singles.

Lewis’ Stateline show begins at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 30, with doors opening at 6:30 p.m. Attendees must be at least 21 years of age. Harrah’s Lake Tahoe is located at 18 U.S. 50.
