ACM Nominee Profile: Jason Aldean

NEW YORK (WLNY) -- We're just days away from the Academy of Country Music Awards.

Among the nominees for Entertainer of the Year is mulch-platinum selling artist Jason Aldean.

Jason Aldean, Kenny Chesney, Eric Church, Tim McGraw, Taylor Swift, Carrie Underwood, Lady Antebellum and Little Big Town will each perform as part of the 48th annual ACM Awards on Sunday, April 7.

This is the second round of artists, and they join the previously announced group that includes Luke Bryan, Kelly Clarkson, Hunter Hayes, Miranda Lambert, Blake Shelton, George Strait and The Band Perry. The ceremony is being cohosted this year by Luke Bryan and Blake Shelton.

The above artists are all performing live from the the MGM Grand Garden Arena, where the award ceremony takes place. However, the list of the night's performers gets even longer when you add in the artists who are also playing the ACM Fan Jam that night at the nearby Orleans Arena.
