Jason Aldean’s hit single “Try That in a Small Town” has a special connection to the city of Boston. After the tragic Boston Marathon bombings in 2013, Aldean decided to dedicate the song to the city.
The Boston Marathon is an annual marathon race held in Boston, Massachusetts. It is the oldest annual marathon in the world and is traditionally held on Patriots’ Day, the third Monday of April. The 2013 Boston Marathon was held on April 15th and was the 117th running of the event.
On that day, two bombs were detonated near the finish line of the marathon, killing three people and injuring an estimated 264 others. The attack was one of the deadliest terrorist acts in the United States since the September 11th attacks in 2001.
In the wake of the tragedy, Jason Aldean released “Try That in a Small Town” as a tribute to the city of Boston and its people. The song is a powerful anthem about standing up for what you believe in, no matter where you’re from. The lyrics emphasize the importance of standing together in times of hardship, and the song’s message of resilience resonated strongly with the people of Boston.
Aldean performed the song at Fenway Park in 2014, and it has become a staple of his live performances. The song has become a symbol of hope and strength to the people of Boston, and its message of unity and resilience still resonates today.
