Last Fling to Host Labor Day Weekend

NAPERVILLE, Ill. – April 29, 2009 – The Naperville Jaycees are proud to announce Jason Aldean will perform at 8p.m. on the Rotary Hill Main Stage at the Last Fling, Sat., Sept. 5 this Labor Day weekend.

“Jason Aldean is on the cusp of becoming a country A-lister,” said Matt Liethen, Last Fling co-executive director, “we’re looking forward to his hard-rocking stage style and good music.”

Just this week, the multi-platinum country rocker snagged the No. one spot with his smash hit “She’s Country” from his new album “Wide Open”, marking Aldean’s second career No. one hit and his sixth Top 10. “Wide Open” is currently number two on the Billboard Top Country Albums Chart.

"Man, it's hard work to get up to that No. one spot, and I don't take it for granted," said Aldean. "I've got a small, but mighty team...from the guys at the label to my crew out on the road. Thanks to them and all my friends at country radio, we'll be celebrating extra hard this week."

Aldean has had quite the career to celebrate, which started in 2005 with his debut Platinum-selling album that generated three successive Top 10 hits: “”, “Why” and “Amarillo Sky”.

“We’re adding some diversity to the musical genre for the Last Fling this year and Aldean is just right for country lovers,” said Kevin Piket, Last Fling co- executive director, “We’re looking forward to a great show.”

Starting the show at 6p.m., will serve up some newly styled . Ford’s musical mixture embodies the seemingly unusual pairing of Southern country and hip-hop musical influences he heard growing up.
