Jason Aldean to Perform During Seventh Annual Patriot Awards

Jason Aldean is set to perform his songs “Try That in a Small Town” and “How Far Does a Goodbye Go” as part of Fox Nation’s seventh annual Patriot Awards, which will be held Thursday (Nov. 6) at The Tilles Center for the Performing Arts in Brookville, N.Y. During the event, Erika Kirk, Turning Point USA CEO and widow of late conservative activist Charlie Kirk, will be honored with the inaugural Charlie Kirk legacy award.

Aldean and his wife, Brittany, will join Fox News Channel’s Jesse Watters to present Erika with the accolade, which in the years to follow will be given to “a recipient who embodies Charlie’s mission and his spirit of free speech, faith and family,” according to a release from Fox Nation.

The Patriot Awards will stream live on Fox Nation, with Fox New Channel’s Sean Hannity serving as master of ceremonies. The event will honor military veterans, first responders and more, with awards including the young patriot award, Benjamin Hall’s honor award, T2T Stephen Courage Siller award, salute to service award, most valuable patriot award, heroism award and patriot of the year award.  

Erika was named CEO of Turning Point USA following the death of her husband, who was shot and killed during a Turning Point USA event held at Utah Valley University on Sept. 10.

Aldean was among the artists who spoke out in the days after Kirk’s passing. The country singer had posted a photo on Instagram of the polarizing conservative activist with himself and wife Brittany, and praised Kirk in the caption.
