news: i've been selected to perform out of 800+ applicants for the FALCON RIDGE FOLK FESTIVAL Emerging Artist Showcase!! Also, my debut video release ON THE RUN, will be featured @ QFEST 2009 this year! the largest gay and lesbian film festival in the country held right in the city of brotherly love :) wee!
OFFICIAL VIDEO RELEASE CONCERT @ THE TIN ANGEL AUGUST 7TH, PHILADELPHIA.
With humble upbringings in a struggling working class family, becoming something other than ordinary was not celebrated or encouraged. Aiden
refused to accept that and fled to Philadelphia where he embraced urban life, not to mention the local music scene.
Currently living in downtown Philadelphia, this talented, twenty something
is making great strides for a self taught musician. He independently released his debut album “have you ever” in July 2006 and quickly gained a devoted local following that feathered out across the region.
Now with an impressive tour under his belt stretching from Boston to San Francisco, AJ's new album "On the Run" is already getting quite a buzz.
He recently did a live performance and interview on Clear Channel station 93.7 WSTW in Delaware/Philadelphia called "Hometown Heroes". Continuing on, his live set with Q&A on Sirius Satellite Radio Channel 109 got big kudos from host
Larry Flick saying, "amazing, such a talented man, and this is a great, great album".
Aiden has shared the stage with Elliot Yamin, Todd Martin, Adrianne, Heather Combs, Eric Himan, Betty, Gregory Douglass, Nicole Reynolds, Rachael Sage, Jay Brannan, Pamela Means, and many more...
A voice that's quietly powerful and strongly captivating, Aiden James is not only finding a place in our hearts... he's on the run with them.
Mister Aiden....planning to attend Philly Beer Week in early June. Hope you will be in town to take in some of your "home cookin'". Good beer and good music have yet to lead me astray. Until then, good fortune to you...be well, my friend!
When will you be here? I'm such a hhuge fan and would love to get to hang out for a few. Before or after your show. What do you think about an interview? If not I would at least like to visit!
hey! just wanted to say hi and see what was cookin'? Nothin crazy new over here, just enjoying a peaceful evening. Hope all is well :) much love ~adrian edward
