Jason Aldean's record label owner, Benny Brown, mistakes Aldean's tribute artist for Jason.
Updated: Aug 22, 2019
Many of Jason Aldean's fans are now attending both, Jason's concerts and the Ultimate Aldean's concerts, but why?
Being awarded ACM's "Entertainer of the Year" for 3 consecutive years and the current "Artist of the Decade", which only 6 artists have received since back in the 60's, most people know Jason Aldean, but who is the Ultimate Aldean?
Wyatt West is the Ultimate Aldean, a singer that looks strikingly similar to Jason Aldean. So much so, that while Wyatt was attending the ACM Awards in Las Vegas back in 2015, Broken Bow records owner, Benny Brown, mistakenly said, "hey Jason" to Wyatt as he was walking by Benny...now there's something that doesn't happen everyday.
In 2011, after Jason released the hit song "Dirt Road Anthem", Aldean fans started approaching Wyatt a few times a day asking Wyatt if he was Jason Aldean. By 2012, Wyatt realized there was an opportunity sitting in front of him and has been performing as the Ultimate Aldean since 2013. Did he make the best of it? I would say he did. (video below)
In case you're wondering, the picture above is Wyatt West, not Jason Aldean. The Ultimate Aldean Experience is a tribute to Jason Aldean. They tour internationally, performing a full blown, non-stop, 2-hour set of Aldean's hottest songs. Wyatt has Jason's mannerisms down so well that it's hard for fans to tell the difference between them. From the beginning of his journey, Wyatt's dedication has even led him to get similar tattoos as Jason. Why they may not be totally identical, they are real, and you would have to be a die-hard Aldean fan to see the small changes in the artwork.
By now you're ready to see Wyatt in action, right? Check out the video below and see why Aldean fans are attending both, Jason's concerts and the Ultimate Aldean's concerts.
