   About Aaron PICAR


"Like G.I. Joe, Aaron Picar is a real American hero. Unlike G.I. Joe, Aaron Picar exists in three dimensions."
Jason Harwell, IAMA Song of the Year Winner

Aaron PICAR is eclectic folk for eclectic folk. So just what does that mean? Aaron PICAR is too fast for folk, too slow for rock, too cool for country, not cool enough for the blues. He can share a drink with the sinners and say a prayer with the saints. SO just who is Aaron Picar?

He's not sure himself but one thing is true, Aaron PICAR definately has a voice that must be heard. Aaron uses his passionate, energetic stage presence with honest, intellegent songwriting, shimmering acoustic guitar, as well as his unique ability to draw people in to his music and personality. Regaurdless the venue, or who's in the audience, Picar gives the same thing to everyone: genuine music from a genuine person. So if you have ears, Aaron has music for you.

Having established himself in the local Cape scene and shared the stage with acclaimed artists as Jason Harwell (2004 International Songwriter of the Year), Jon Black (2005 International Song of the Year Winner), Eric Peters (formerly of Ridgely, currently of well, Eric Peters), Aaron also contributed to the fan tribute album for Bill Mallonee and Vigilantes of Love, and served as the event co-ordinator for the '06 eXtreme Tour kick-off Aaron, is ready to see where his music will take him next.

Ultimately, Aaron Picar crafts his songs to connect the unchanging truth to the changing world so the listener reaches beyond oneself to something greater.

An Interview with Aaron PICAR for the Southeast Missourian Feb. 2006

Aaron PICAR
Age: 27
Hometown: Cape Girardeau
Genre: Acoustic/Folk, Indie

How did you get into playing Christian Music?

A lot of it was that I was pulled into my former youth group's band. I was their roadie, played with them, worked with them on their songs. Then, I just started playing more, and writing my own stuff.

Why did you stop playing with your old band?

It's just me now, because they're living life, going to college, and whathaveyou so I decided to come out on my own.

Who are your influences?

A lot of people just a few include Billy Cerveny, Bill Mallonee, U2, Wilco.

How do you feel about secular music?

I enjoy it, I think that there is spiritual music in there that you have to dig for, most people just don't think about it, but if they looked they'd see it.

Why do you play Christian Music?

It is a part of who I am, its how God expresses himself through me, and he let's people see how I'm living through him.

How do you feel about the Christian bands that have become mainstream such as Switchfoot?

I think it's great that many Christian acts are getting mainstream attention. It brings the Gospel to people who wouldn't normally go to church, in ways that are relevant and artistically excellent.
Honestly the best "Christian" band in recent years has been U2. Sure you won't see them winning any Dove awards, but what they've done to bring the African AIDS Crisis, fair trade, social injustices, etc., to the forefront of the cultural awareness has been nothing short of godly. They've taken up causes that the Church has traditionally championed.

You always here the clich? that Christian music has to have the words God or Jesus in every song. How do you feel about that and does your music incorporate that?

There are two things I avoid in my craft: One are clich?s the other is Christian-ese. Most listeners don't know what it means to be saved or born again, so if I go on and on and on about that sorta stuff, I'll likely lose my listeners.

When I began songwriting I asked my good friend and favorite musician Billy Cerveny how do I do this as a Christian. What he told me, I've always followed, "Seek God and write what comes out. If it's a praise song, that's cool. If it's a story song that doesn't mention Jesus, that's cool. It's all about sharing what He has put on your heart to share."

I don't think I've ever mentioned Jesus in a song, but He's there. He has a way of haunting me, of showing up in the darkest and most unexpected of places when I'm not looking for Him. I've begun writing songs with God being the furthest thing from my mind, but by the end He'll show up and bring everything to Him.
