Jason Aldean To Open Nashville Restaurant + Roof Top Bar

On the heels of his 20th career chart-topping single, three-time and reigning ACM “Entertainer of the Year” Jason Aldean announces JASON ALDEAN’S KITCHEN + ROOF TOP BAR. In partnership with TC Restaurant Group, the four-story entertainment complex in the middle of downtown Music City”s Lower Broadway (between 3rd and 4th Ave) will open on in June, featuring music on every floor, a one-of-kind homestyle menu and rooftop bar with customized cocktails.

JASON ALDEAN’S KITCHEN + ROOFTOP BAR will feature over 27,000 square feet of space in the neon-lined heart of Music City, 250 dining seats, six bars and a world-class kitchen, welcoming guests for good times, Southern food and live entertainment – all designed to make each visitor a part of The Aldean Army.

“It’s pretty cool to finally have my own spot downtown where people can go and have a good time,” said Aldean. “We’ve been working on this for a while and I’m looking forward to having everyone in town for CMA Music Fest help break it in.”

Live music will spill over two floors each and every day – focusing specifically on new local talent and as well as artists from across the country – and the venue will also be home to the largest outdoor patio on Broadway. The rooftop bar will serve freshly made cocktails with a panoramic view of the Nashville cityscape, while guests inside will find a 1961 4020 John Deere tractor serving as a tribute to Aldean’s multi-PLATINUM No. One hit, “Big Green Tractor.”

World-renowned Chef Tomasz Wosiak teamed up with Aldean to create a menu that is a mix of his Southern-cooking favorites, steaks, pastas, salads and more – including a unique, food-in-a-basket concept and a dessert menu. The superstar worked alongside Chef Tomasz to recreate his mother’s own Homemade Peach Cobbler, ensuring the family recipe was done to perfection.

Two giant video walls will showcase guests’ favorite sporting events – as well as all the hottest videos from today’s country stars – while the mezzanine level will include an official store packed with memorabilia, T-shirts, hats, jackets and a signature glassware line. With private, VIP experiences available for groups up to 1500, JASON ALDEAN’S KITCHEN + ROOFTOP BAR is the perfect location for all types of events.

Thompson Square Reveals Full Track List For New Album MASTERPIECE

Two-time Grammy nominated, MULTI-PLATINUM Country duo THOMPSON SQUARE are currently gearing up for the release of their third studio album, MASTERPIECE, and have revealed the project’s official track list.

Set to arrive on June 1, the album includes 11 brand-new tracks, which mix carefree fun and deeply personal themes – nine of which were written or co-written by either Keifer or Shawna Thompson of husband-and-wife team themselves. Looking for inspiration in their own fairytale romance – they celebrated their 19th wedding anniversary on Tuesday, 5/19, – many of the songs shed light on a transformative period in the duo’s lives, as they welcomed the birth of a son named Rigney Cooper in early 2016.

The album also marks Keifer and Shawna’s first album release in more than five years, and it finds them continuing to perfect their acclaimed vocal blend while also exploring new sounds like soulful R&B, laid-back reggae and thundering hard rock.

Taking control of their own musical destiny, the duo teamed up with GRAMMY winner Nathan Chapman (Taylor Swift), perennial hitmaker Dann Huff (Keith Urban) and Russian-born bluegrass maverick Ilya Toshinskiy to produce the album, and five of the project’s diverse new tracks have already been released (“Masterpiece,” “A Love Like This,” “Millionaires,” “Up in Smoke” and “Let’s Do Something Stupid”).

Here’s the complete track listing for Thompson Square’s MASTERPIECE, out June 1:
1. “Masterpiece” (Keifer Thompson)
2. “Up in Smoke” (Brad Warren, Brett Warren, Keifer Thompson, Shawna Thompson)
3. “Millionaires” (Marv Green, Catt Gravitt, Courtney Cole)
4. “Stupid Girls Stupid Boys” (Ben Caver, Sara Haze, AJ Pruis, Laura Veltz)
5. “Let’s Do Something Stupid” (Jason Lehning, Keifer Thompson)
6. “Stuck in My Head” (Brad Warren, Brett Warren, Keifer Thompson, Shawna Thompson)
7. “Good Day” (Erik Belz, Frank Rogers, Keifer Thompson, Shawna Thompson)
8. “I Know This Guy” (Mike Fiorentino, Keifer Thompson)
9. “A Love Like This” (Cary Barlowe, Keifer Thompson)
