Country music award-winning singer/songwriter Aaron Carter has always been a fan of small towns and lake living having grown up in Rockwood.

Bobby Carroll, a self-proclaimed small-town boy, wanted to bring Carter back to Jefferson City to share the country artist’s music with the Cherokee Lake and Mossy Creek Cove community.

This free event will take place on Sunday, September 3, from 8-10p.m. off Point One in Mossy Creek Cove (817 Lakewood Drive).

Attendees are encouraged to bring their boat to the cove during the early evening or pull up a chair on the shoreline.

Carter, whose music has been compared to Morgan Wallen, Blake Shelton, Luke Combs and many more country artists, recently took home the Male Emerging Artist Award at the International Singer Songwriter Association award ceremony and just received an invitation to the Grand Ole Opry’s Josie Music Awards as well.

“We’re going to the Grand Ole Opry on October 22. I don’t know what I’m nominated for. I just got a letter saying I was in the top 2% of around 60,000 artists or something like that.” Carter said.

Carter said that it will be his first time going to the Grand Ole Opry and that he plans to get there early and get a photo made on the stage that has been shared by many country music greats.

Carter plans to release his first album titled “This Town” in January.

The album will be compiled of some of his top streamed songs as well as some new songs.
