The quintessential Steven Tyler will bring his rock and country sounds to the Washington State Fair on Sunday, Sept. 3, part of the Columbia Bank Concert Series.

Tyler, the iconic songwriter and prolific voice of the best-selling American rock band Aerosmith, is considered one of music’s most recognizable, dynamic front men and has been cited by Rolling Stone as “one of the greatest singers of all time.”

Tyler and Aerosmith have sold more than 150 million records worldwide; he has won four Grammy Awards, six American Music Awards, four Billboard Music Awards and an Emmy Award. In addition to having nine number one hits, 25 gold, 18 platinum and 12 multi-platinum album certifications, Tyler, along with the rest of his band members, were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2001.

Tyler’s highly anticipated country solo album, We’re All Somebody from Somewhere, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart and No. 1 on the iTunes Top Country Albums charts in the United State and Canada to rave reviews, with the Boston Globe noting, “Tyler didn’t just parachute into Nashville for a visit, but walked around and breathed the air.” The Associated Press proclaimed “Steven Tyler’s country album shines.”
