Praise for Aaron Lee Tasjan’s Get Over It, Underdog

By Kayla Pinckney

We are beyond excited for this new record released this past Friday by Aaron Lee Tasjan!

Get Over It, Underdog is Tasjan’s way of exploring what happens when an artist stops believing in themselves. He drew inspiration from his late mentor, Todd Snider, whose encouragement helped shape the album's message.

The singles “Science Friction,” “Lost and Alone,” and “Lydia’s Boots” were just the beginning! This album features 11 songs and was produced by Tasjan and Mark Miller. Be sure to give it a listen. You won’t be disappointed!

Listen here!

Read on for more praise for Get Over It, Underdog.

• “…a set of 11 songs that meld Tasjan’s knack for off-kilter but truly humanistic storytelling with vibrant melodies that shift and shine: a little glam rock, a little sing-talk folk, a lot of empathizing for the kind of underdog that may not get a lot of attention but still has a whole lot to say.” - Rolling Stone

• "His most upbeat songs — like “Lost & Alone” on his new release, 'Get Over It, Underdog' — hit with the soaring sheen of a smarter, more jaded 'Full Moon Fever'-era Tom Petty." - No Depression Review

• "Tasjan’s a gifted writer, singer and guitar player, but, like Allison Russell, he’s no longer an outsider – he’s a leader in Nashville, and Music City is better for it.” - Americana Highways review

• “It’s an introspective, often moody collection that rewards repeat listens, with sharp songwriting and memorable melodies proving that Tasjan remains one of Americana’s most thoughtful and consistently compelling voices – even if he occasionally doubts himself.” - Glide Magazine review

• Paste Magazine - Daytrotter Session

• On Joy, Songwriting, and Leaning to Let Go - Wheels Off with Rhett Miller

• Words & Music performance and interview - WMOT (NPR Music)

• Album Of The Week - Tinnitist

• Album feature - WNCW

• "Lydia's Boots" featured on Top 25 Playlist - Saving Country

New Music, Vinyl, and Tour Updates from Aaron Lee Tasjan

by Braden Davis

There’s a new chapter underway for Aaron Lee Tasjan, and it’s already taking shape in a big way. With a fresh release out now and a full album on the horizon, everything is pointing toward a moment that feels both intentional and expansive.

His latest single, “Lost & Alone,” is out now, offering another glimpse into what’s coming next following the release of his first single, “Science Friction”. The track leans into the emotional and sonic space that Aaron has continued to refine. It’s honest, restless, and fully his own. It sets the tone without giving everything away, leaving room for the larger story to unfold. Listen to “Lost & Alone” here.

Alongside the single, Aaron Lee has officially announced his upcoming album, Get Over It, Underdog. The project will be released on vinyl May 29th, with the full album arriving on streaming services July 17th.

To bring it all to life, Aaron will also be heading out on the Get Over It, Underdog Album Release World Tour, taking the new music on the road across a wide range of cities.

Between the new single, the album announcement, and a full tour ahead, this next phase feels like an exciting new door Aaron Lee is opening, one that builds on everything that’s come before while introducing his listeners to something new.

Rethinking Routine

by Mackenzie Fey

If you’ve been following along in the last couple of blog posts, you might’ve seen me fish out some tips for working at home and making yourself a pro at this. These tips included starting your days with intentionality, spacing things out mentally and physically, and the importance of taking breaks. All of these things emphasize keeping things as normally as possible within the confines of an abnormal time. There’s nothing wrong with this! For people like me, I need to maintain that mindset to continue being productive and get the responsibilities I have taken care of. But this came to a realization that during these abnormal times, it’s okay to have things be just that. Abnormal.

Don’t get me wrong! There is so much value in routine! Right now, however, times are evolving and changing. Nothing is how it was a year ago. I mean, not even a month ago! What’s the harm in evolving your own routine? Doing things a little differently and reminding yourself it’s okay to be imperfect and skip out on getting into normal people clothes on Tuesday morning and just staying in your pajamas. It’s actually kinda fun! This can even look like finally picking up that brush and paints you got forever ago and never actually used it. It could be listening to an artist or genre you haven’t taken the time to listen to during your work hours (see below!). Go ahead and eat cereal and a donut for dinner. Try a new tv show on a Monday night at 11pm. Now’s the time!

Having a hard time deciding what your new non-routine could look like? I can help with that:

Today, Ruthie Collins released her sophomore album Cold Comfort featuring singles like “Dang Dallas” and “Bad Woman”. It has everything you’d want in an album: truth, heartbreak, enchanting melodies, storytelling, incredible production, and a song that can relate to any one of us. Check it out at this link here and give it a listen! Try it out, you won’t regret it.

To further break up the “normal”, tune in tonight at 7pm central to hear the new album live from Ruthie’s couch in New York! Join us on her YouTube channel tonight at YouTube.com/RuthieCollinsMusic.
