8 Track Entertainment award-winning country star Aaron Tippin is celebrating the release of his inspiring new single, “American Sky,” an uplifting, heartfelt anthem that reflects faith, freedom, and the spirit of possibility.
Commenting on the new song, Music Row Magazine’s Robert Oermann praised the track, writing, “This uptempo strut is a salute to spirit, ambition and pluck. Spread your wings and fly, as Tippin suggests.”
Written by his son, Tom Tippin, “American Sky” marks a meaningful new chapter for Tippin as he continues creating music rooted in family, tradition, and the values that have defined his career.
In the weeks surrounding the release, Tippin has been sharing the story behind “American Sky” through a series of national media appearances and interviews including Big D & Bubba, Country With Carsen, WSM AM’s Coffee, Country & Cody, Taste of Country Nights, and more.
The release also comes at an exciting moment in Tippin’s life and career. On January 23, 2026, he was inducted into the Living Legends of Aviation, joining fewer than 100 individuals to receive the prestigious recognition. Tippin earned his pilot’s license at age 14 and soloed at 16, and flying has remained a constant part of his life alongside his music career.
An accomplished singer-songwriter and performer, Aaron Tippin has earned six gold albums and one platinum, releasing more than 30 singles over his career. His chart-topping hits include “You’ve Got to Stand for Something,” “My Blue Angel,” “I Wouldn’t Have It Any Other Way,” “Kiss This,” “Workin’ Man’s Ph.D.,” “There Ain’t Nothin’ Wrong with the Radio,” and “Where the Stars and Stripes and the Eagle Fly,” which reached the Top 20 on Billboard’s Hot 100 all-genre chart.
Though music brought him national fame, aviation has always remained at the core of Tippin’s life. He is a commercial pilot with single- and multi-engine ratings, a helicopter pilot, a certified flight instructor, and a licensed aircraft mechanic. He previously operated his own aviation school.
Beyond music and aviation, Tippin is a successful entrepreneur. He and his wife, Thea, have partnered with Stonehaus Winery, developing top-selling wines including Aaron Tippin’s Blue Angel Blueberry Wine and the recently released Ready to Rock Riesling.
