Country star Jason Aldean‘s youngest daughter, Navy, has caught the music bug! It appears she’s following in her father’s footsteps — with a little help from someone who’s been part of Aldean’s journey for decades.
In a heartwarming video posted by Brittany Aldean to Instagram Stories, 6-year-old Navy is seen sitting with Aldean’s longtime guitarist, Kurt Allison, as he teaches her the basics of guitar backstage during a recent tour stop.
Allison isn’t just any band member — he’s been Aldean’s lead guitarist since 1999. In addition to his on-stage talent, Allison is a respected songwriter in the country music world.
He’s co-written several of Aldean’s major songs, including the chart-topping duet with Carrie Underwood, “If I Didn’t Love You,” and the viral 2023 single “Try That in a Small Town.”
Beyond Aldean’s discography, Allison has also contributed to hits recorded by MontgomeryGentry, Alabama, Parmalee, Tracy Lawrence and Dustin Lynch, including the fan favorite “Seeing Red.”
His impressive resume and long-standing relationship with the Aldean family make him the perfect mentor as young Navy shows an early spark for music.
