Country star Jason Aldean headlining private RNC party in Milwaukee

The RNC will host its biggest music event yet, concluding the convention with a performance from country star Jason Aldean at the Potawatomi Casino Hotel.

Republican National Convention Host Committee Chairman Reince Priebus told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel on Thursday that the singer plans to perform at a party the committee is hosting after the convention ends Thursday night.

Aldean became a polarizing figure after his first No. 1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100, “Try That in a Small Town,” infuriated some who said it implicitly endorsed violence. Critics suggested the song and music video, released a year ago, contained racist dog whistles, charges Aldean denied.

Aldean dedicated the controversial song to Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump at a concert in Holmdel, New Jersey, on Saturday after the former president was shot in the ear during an assassination attempt.

Aldean and his wife, Brittany, were spotted sitting front row in Trump’s VIP box on Thursday night.
