AUG and SEPT Part of the BORN TO FIT promotion we have our song "1000 MILES WIDE" being played in 700+ nationwide gaps stores on a stream...
Aaron uses exclusively:
Every song is an original, but lyrically Aaron shows his
intellectual story telling and sense of life experience that is always at the forefront. The songs are timeless in nature and with the addition of the amazing Rick Sadlier (as keyboardist/piano player) - Ralph Reightinger (as bass player) and Tom Kitchen (drummer) the songs have reached new heights. It is impossible to catagorize his music...As a band they have energy to a live show, and as experienced performers they can involve everyone in this brand of self expression...
Aaron proficiently plays his guitar spilling chord after chord of unexpected twists and turns of hook laden melodies. Sadliers piano adds heft, and texture, to a funk influenced underlay by Reightinger... Kitchens drum lines are solid and proficient. And the chemistry and expertise between the unit is obvious.
They have MASS appeal. As a singer/songwriter we have seen Aaron play in front of original alternative rock bands and win the crowd over (solo style or as a 2-piece with Sadlier) AND as a 4 piece as they are now...They have entertained tye dyed hippy types, rock clubs, even been received by a country crowd as well...young teens with backpacks and blackened hair, middle aged housewives, alternative shoegazers, shop working
common folk, bikers, cross armed musicians...young or old... you name it - they all respect and welcome Letters to the Dead and the universal approach to music. When you listen to a live show, they have that sense of humility mixed with confidence that is needed to be liked. You hear a once broken heart, you hear years of experience, you feel like your part of something genre free and "fresh". You feel something happening that you can take with you.
That is why we believe they can be so much more than you see now. They have “something for everyone” and that is a rarity nowadays.
Sit back and listen to the music here or the live show and you to will be glad you opened your ears to something that can be all yours.
AND JUST IN:
we are 100% completed with the recording of our 1st FULL length ALBUM...11 songs are recorded...DUE TO BUDGET CONCERNS WE ARE PRESSING A LIMITED NUMBER and then going to sell on the major download options...
LETTERS TO THE DEAD - will be an industry name in 2009. Guaranteed!
