Jason Michael Carroll Delivers Mid-Air Serenade for 102-Year-Old Birthday Girl

Nashville, TN. (Top40 Charts/ Arista Records) - New Arista Nashville hitmaker Jason Michael Carroll has continued to win fans with his chart-topping debut album, Waitin' in the Country, as well as his first two hit singles, 'Alyssa Lies' and the new 'Livin' Our Love Song' and countless personal appearances. And as Waitin' in the Country surpassed the 200,000 mark on this week's SoundScan sales tally – furthering Carroll's status as the best-selling debut country male of the past year – he also just earned what is very likely his oldest new fan.

On a recent airline trip, a friend of Carroll's informed the flight crew that there was a country entertainer on board, and that set things in motion for an impromptu musical celebration in honor of a 102-year-old birthday girl named Eula. Graciously agreeing to an airplane PA performance of 'Happy Birthday' for Eula – and with shades of Peter, Paul & Mary – Carroll was humorously introduced as country band Jason, Michael & Carol, but that didn't deter the genial singer/songwriter from stepping up to the PA and earning a rousing round of applause from the passengers and a very sweet thank-you from Eula.

Carroll is back on the road in Rockford , IL for a performance at tonight's Stars & Guitars festival.
