Aaron Lewis brought a set that was pure Aaron Lewis. He started with “It’s Been a While,” a nod to his past as the lead singer of Staind, before transitioning to his country hit “Country Boy.” He then made the risky choice to perform his political song, “Am I The Only One,” which received a mixed response from the crowd.

Despite the divided reaction, Lewis’s performance was a testament to his confidence as an artist. He knows who he is and what he wants to say, and he isn’t afraid to say it, even in a public setting. While the song choice was a gamble, it solidified his place as an artist who stays true to his convictions.
