Jason Aldean’s toddler son Memphis may just follow in his mom and dad’s footsteps when he gets of age.

As his dad Jason told us, his boy has been in love with music since he was born. He said, “He’s one of those when music comes on, even from the time he was really little, he would kind of start dancing around and doing his thing. I feel like between myself and his mom, I mean, she's a great singer too, and she's always singing around the house and stuff. So, I think between the two of us, I think it's probably inevitable with him especially growing up around it.”

Memphis has already had a taste of road life. Aldean says, “So this year, he came out on the road a little bit. It's really kind of weird, though, because I usually don't play until 9:30 or so. And he goes to bed at six-thirty. So, we'd take him out for soundcheck. And he did come out to one show where I played a little earlier this year. He seems to dig it. I do think he's already shown a love for music a little bit.”

Jason posted last week to Instagram, “Y’all ready for the next generation of Country music? #memphisaldean.”
