From Perth, Western Australia comes 23 year old solo songwriter / guitarist Aiden Varro. He combines a finger picking and mellow lapslide toned approach to guitar in a blues and roots style. He utilises two guitars when performing live: a 12 string acoustic and the weissenborn hollow-neck lapslide to add some variety. While open tunings and slide are his forte, his songs are written about social and ethical values with a touch of love and soul for good measure. He is armed with an array of effects and a stomp box on stage to create a new wave of guitar-driven, acoustic roots.
Aiden has been busy of late with performances at the Nannup, Fairbridge and Bridgetown Blues festivals, receiving airplay on JJJ and supporting some favourites Ash Grunwald, Dallas Frasca, Jez Mead and Nathan Kaye.
After his successful debut album “Tastes of Inspiration” Aiden’s new EP “My Story” draws from the same vein of driving roots but backed with a band.
'Aiden Varro is a self funded, self managed independent artist'
