Aaron Watson Isn’t Going Outta Style With This Lubbock Benefit Concert

The Lubbock-Cooper Education Foundation and First United Bank are pleased to present Aaron Watson with special guest Jenna Paulette on April 11 at Cook's Garage!

The Lubbock-Cooper Education Foundation is a partnership of public education advocates seeking to invest in the youth of the Lubbock-Cooper community, provide necessary resources to maintain a high-quality learning atmosphere for Lubbock-Cooper students, spread awareness of the accomplishments of teachers and students within Lubbock-Cooper schools, encourage educators and students to perform at their highest potential, and provide ample opportunities for success for students of all walks of life!

Since the Foundation’s inception, more than $1 million in grants and scholarships have been awarded throughout Lubbock-Cooper ISD.

For over 20 years now, Aaron Watson has traveled the land as the country’s ultimate underdog troubadour – a truly independent artist with the spirit of the American frontier in his veins, and a self-made empire to match.

He has reached the Top 10 of Billboard’s Country Album chart five separate times – an impressive feat by any standard – and that includes his triumphant 2015 set, The Underdog, which landed at Number One. Matching sold-out shows across the country with homegrown hits, he’s followed suit at country radio, making history in 2017 with “Outta Style” and “Run Wild Horses.” But despite the success, the Texas native remains a fighter punching far above his weight, constantly defending his right to be in the ring. And with his new album, Unwanted Man, he reminds all who care to listen that it’s just fine by him.

Seventeen years into his journey, Watson reached a hard-to-comprehend milestone in 2017, becoming one of the only independent artists to crack country radio’s Top 10 in the last half century. “Defying gravity” with his free wheeling country rocker, “Outta Style,” he had a bonafide hit and almost two decades of sold-out momentum on his hands, reaching a pinnacle that should have sent him to the next level – yet still, Watson found the mainstream gates difficult to unlock.

Aaron Watson's concert will be at Cook's Garage on Thursday, April 11 from 8:30 to 11:30 pm. Doors at 7 pm. Tickets are currently on sale.
