From soothing acoustic sweetness to screaming metal solos he is unafraid to challenge the status quo with his “be yourself” attitude towards musicianship. Aaron began his pursuit writing unique acoustic arrangements of classic songs from across the musical spectrum. In time he began composing his own music drawing inspiration from bands like Death Cab for Cutie, Tenacious D, and Iron Maiden. Strongly influenced by his time spent in the mountains of Montana, his music features elements of storytelling, adventure, comedy, tragedy, hope, and horror bridging the genres of folk, progressive rock, and symphonic metal.
