One night after a show, a guy approached me and said "let me guess: your two favorite guitarists are Ted Nugent and Angus Young!" I told him he was half right. I fuckin' hate Ted Nugent.
I've been playing guitar and producing records since I got my start in the clubs of Boston. It didn't take me long to leave the fold of ego-driven guitarists and cultivate the view that the guitar is just a part of the big picture, not some phallic stand-in or a hammer of the gods. If a song calls for it, I'll play just three notes during the second verse, or I'll layer 12 tracks of texture that may or may not sound like a guitar. It's about music first, the instrument second. On the other hand, you don't have to twist my arm very forcefully to get me to play 'Don't Stop Believing' note for note.
As a producer/engineer, I'm enjoying working on a variety of projects, from full albums to one-off tracks, to producing intimate string quartet sessions. I'm always looking for new bands and artists to work with, so drop me a line!

Just watched your vid "Behind the scenes at the Basilica Block Party." You made me laugh just when I needed it most (stressful day). Thanks for putting a smile back on my my face. :) Love to you and the special one who is so funny (even when he's not talking). ~Linda
Good to see you last night Aaron! Great to hear you in concert for another EXCELLENT show. :) The Rams Head show was so amazing, you've got me all excited in anticipation of the next Matt Nathanson concert. BTW, still laughing at the thought Matt is so huge right now that even his band members have to buy tix to the show. ;) See you soon. ~Linda
