NEW YORK MILLS — The New York Mills Regional Cultural Center's 2024 Live Music Series continues with Nashville-based country artist Aaron Simmons, on Saturday, April 20, at 7:30 p.m. All are welcome.

Join us in the Cultural Center’s intimate listening-room-style gallery space for this talented country artist with local roots.

Aaron Simmons hails from Stewartville, a small town in southeast Minnesota, and also has family ties in Wadena. Aaron is best known for his unique combination of high-energy stage presence and vulnerable songwriting. Simmons has lived in Nashville since 2021 and is influenced by Chris Stapleton, Caitlyn Smith, Brothers Osborne, and Tenille Townes.

Simmons is a seven-time nominee for awards in the Midwest Country Music Organization (including Male Vocalist in 2022 and 2023; Song in 2022 and 2023; Album in 2023; Music Video in 2022; and New Artist in 2021). His single “Soldier in a Frame” was selected as a semifinalist in the American Songwriter magazine’s “2023 Song of the Year” contest.

Additionally, his single “Nobody’s Home in Wadena” held the No. 1 position on Spotify's Local Pulse: Minneapolis chart for two consecutive weeks in August 2022. He has also opened for renowned acts such as Scotty McCreery, Parmalee, Easton Corbin, Restless Road and Kat & Alex.

Often, the "News Staff" byline is used when rewriting basic news briefs that originate from official sources, such as a city press release about a road closure, and which require little or no reporting. At times, this byline is used when a news story includes numerous authors or when the story is formed by aggregating previously reported news from various sources. If outside sources are used, it is noted within the story.
