    Aaron Pritchett Remembers the Moments

    Aaron Pritchett remains one of the leading entertainers in the Canadian Country Music industry and shows no signs of slowing down any time soon! With several decades of experience on stages of all sizes, playing to crowds big and small, Aaron has consistently put on the same country/rock fuelled shows night in, night out. Pritchett’s mantra has always been, “make the crowd feel like they’re on stage with us and that we’re out there with them. One big party with friends. The goal is to take ourselves away from any struggles and stresses of everyday life for at least 90 mins”, which is his goal with every show. People will never regret going to an Aaron Pritchett show. Over the past twenty plus years, Pritchett has had dozens of Top 10 hits and with a new album on the way in 2024, the AP train is not only chugging along but picking up steam! Hosted on Acast.
