   About Aaron English
MySpace Layouts




“…a talented new artist in a class with other stylistically challenging singer-songwriters such as Peter Gabriel, Joseph Arthur and Perry Blake… potent lyricism, eloquence, and beautiful sublime melodies that reach much deeper than simple pop songs...”
- Mark Newman, Progression Magazine


Seattle-based piano man Aaron English is a singer-songwriter, yes. But there is nothing 'singer-songwriter', in the quaint coffeehouse open-mike sense of the term anyway, about his sophisticated, world-beat-influenced sound. These songs are big songs: driven by Aaron's vivid lyrics and deft piano work, but spilling over onto vast canvasses of sound, incorporating arena-rock and jazz-rock stylings, electronics, and traditional musics from around the world into his recordings and live shows.

The Marriage of the Sun and the Moon, the second album, was released in February 2007. Co-produced by Aaron English and long-time collaborator Don Gunn, the album's epic, high-energy sound has prompted comparisons to Peter Gabriel, Sting, and Led Zeppelin.

Aaron's debut album, All the Waters of This World, was released in May 2002. Recorded in his studio in a converted barn in Seattle, the album featured performances by musicians from five continents, supporting a core band of Seattle- and New-York-City-based musicians.

Inbetween album releases, Aaron, with his rock/world-beat ensemble The Aaron English Band, has toured the festival circuit in US and Canada.

Aaron continues to receive critical recognition and awards for his recordings and live show, including:

- Finalist in the 'Best Male Singer-Songwriter Album' and 'Best Electronica Song' categories in the 2004 Just Plain Folks Music Awards.

- Semi-finalist in the 2002 Coca-Cola/American Music Awards New Artist Competition.

- Finalist in Atlantic Records’ Soul City Music Quest in 2003 (the winner toured with Jewel as an opening act on the world tour).

Thanks for your kind comments Aaron, it's been a while since I've recorded any Mutant tunes.
yeah, Sunset Park sounded like a US cop house, so I thought why not.
What's new with you?

I'm very happy to be back home. It was a long and not so pretty road, but worth it.
The best of luck to you in Denver...be safe.
Hopefully this new album will be your most successful yet! I'll be doing my best to spread the news, my friend. I'm so excited for you, and can't wait to hear it!
Peace,
Christie

That's cool. I like his sound, but does he strike you as drunken?

Are you into Nubian music by any chance? That's what I like the most.

Oh, Aaron! Thank you for your sweet commentary about my music, voice, etc. It is lovely to hear other artists perspectives on my expressions.
Your own music is wildly wonderful, and I wish you could come to New York City and play here.
If you decide to visit, let me know. Our group is performing on Saturday, Dec. 5th, and it would be great if you could hear us in person.

Stay in touch. You never know!
Peace,
lisa

Hi Aaron!
:) Thanks a lot for your interest and your nice feedback.
Actually it's computer programming, except voice and guitar.
It's my favorite ;), maybe because it just came as an improvisation, it was a one day work-session and recording. :)

I am now listening to your music. Yes there is a connection to Peter Gabriel :). In your music i can find what I love in music, it reaches and touches me. Like it very much!
.. will have a deeper look soon, i am very busy the last days ..

All the best to you and your band, cheers Ingrid

Hi! Thanks for the request. I love your music! My 3 month old son liked "Lullaby" :) He was fussy and when I played it, he stopped fussing and listened. Thanks again.

Thanks so much for the well wishes!
When your new cd comes out, I was going to ask if I could re-interview you...
And yes, that Martin Page interview was cool, but with yours I got a bonus, a friend!
All the best,

Hi Aaron

It's good to hear from you as always. I'll go in to more depth about what's happening here in an email.
Limboland?? Oh Yes. That feeling that time which had been racing forward on a wave of discovery and enthusiasm and creativity has suddenly slowed to a snails pace. Can be incredibly frustrating while the adrenalin is still flowing but it is a good opportunity to resolve as many of those issues from the past as you can.
Geoff sounds absolutely the right one to expand on your creativity so although he is in demand elsewhere at the moment I'm sure things will continue even further on his return.
I'll be very interested to hear Chris' Flugelhorn too. Been a big fan of Chuck Mangione for years. The Hollywood Bowl album has some superb arrangements.

Be Happy

Hi Aaron! How are you? Its been a long time! Actually Todd is not with the new cars and I never got to see them. Last year Todd released Arena (his newest cd) and now he is currently touring for AWATS. Which is a live start to finish almost theatrical/rock performance of his 1973 album "A Wizard A True Star"! I did get to see the first show of AWATS and it was incredible! The show opened with a full set from 3/4 of Utopia and was Amazing! That is so funny that you remembered we cos of the expression on Todd's face in our photo:-D Whats going on with you and your music? Don't stay away so long! x terri
