COSHOCTON – Aaron Tippin packed the grandstand Sunday evening at the Coshocton County Fair.
Tippin included Coshocton on his 25 year anniversary concert tour and people of all ages were excited to see him perform on Oct. 4.
“I’ve seen him three times,” said Bambi Wynn. “I enjoy taking my kids to his concerts.”
Her favorite Tippin song is “Big Boy Toys” while 3-year-old Samson Hall’s favorite song is “Where the Stars and Stripes and The Eagle Fly.”
Hall was at the concert with his father Lance.
“This is his first concert,” said Lance. “I like all kinds of music, but he seems to really like country.”
Lance said he grew up listening to Tippin and found his music to have different meanings for him at different points in his life.
“He seems to be a good all around person,” Lance said. “We need more country singers like him.”
People from out of town also came to see Tippin at the Coshocton County Fair.
“He’s a good country singer and we like country music,” said Jane Harrier, who enjoyed the concert with her husband Bill.
Tippin’s music career started in 1990 with his hit, “You’ve Got to Stand for Something.” He now has a total of nine studio albums and two compilations, with five gold certifications and one platinum certification among them, but he couldn’t have accomplished all that without his fans.
“Thank you very much for 25 great years,” said Tippin to the crowd during his concert.
