Aaron Lewis is giving his fans something a little different on his new The State Im In Tour, which kicks off Jan. 24 in Dallas. The stripped-down, 24-city tour will feature acoustic songs and stories as Lewis opens up with some personal tales from the stage. Fans who purchase tickets to the new shows will also receive a physical copy of his new album, The State Im In (The Valory Music Co.), due out in 2019.
My music is very first person, very autobiographical, said Lewis. Its from my life experiences that I draw inspiration for my songs. This acoustic tour gives me the opportunity to share the stories behind my songs with my fans and play them stripped down, like I wrote them.
Tickets for the new shows go on sale Friday, Dec. 7 at 10 a.m. Lewis achieved critical and commercial success with his last album Sinner, which earned him the No. 1 spot on the Top 200 Albums, Top Country Albums and Top Digital Albums Charts upon its release.
