-- Richard Ehisen, Sacramento News and Review

Aaron Stone is a songwriter and multi-instrumentalist with a reputation for pristine vocals and superb musicality. Influenced by a variety of artists such as Jeff Buckley, Bjork, Sunny Day Real Estate, John Mayer, The Police, Tool and The Beatles, Aaron resists the widely accepted notion that memorable pop melodies and intricate accompaniment are mutually exclusive. In doing so, Aaron Stone's music embodies haunting melodies with classic themes of the human condition like our tendency to 'want what we can't have' and the notion that 'only our minds can create the problem of time.' Laid on a sonic palette composed of intricate chord changes, counter melodies and counter rhythms Aaron Stone proves it's possible to indulge in unorthodox musical elements without interfering with the power of honest lyrics, memorable melodies, and naked, emotive vocals.
