According to tasteofcountry.com, Jason Aldean’s publicity team recently split from him after his wife, Brittany Aldean, made comments that have since been labeled by many as being transphobic. The controversial Instagram messages weren’t cited as being a reason for the GreenRoom’s separation from Aldean. With co-owner, Tyne Parrish explaining that music has always been the company’s main focus and that a GreenRoom/Aldean pairing no longer makes sense. Billboard originally broke the news of the split with a quote from Parrish saying, “We aren’t the best people for the gig anymore, but will always be big fans of his music,” Parrish says. “He is one of the greatest live entertainers in country music.” The Nashville based publicity team is one of the largest in country music, representing Reba McEntire, Dierks Bentley, Brooks & Dunn, Thomas Rhett and many others.
Aldean and GreenRoom had been together for 17 years, and they helped him to build relationships with country radio and national media over those years. Aldean is current in the midst of his Rock N’ Roll Cowboy Tour, however, he had the weekend off.
