   About Aaron Goldstein as The Good Rev. Overdrive
 

My business card says, "Aaron Goldstein: Pedal Steel Guitar - Guitar - Bass - Drums - Composition - Production" because I do all of that pretty capably, but the truth is I spend most of my time behind the steel, and also often playing guitar and singing.

These days my time is pretty heavily consumed by a few key projects:

I write, play guitar, and sing in a band called Jawbone;
I play pedal steel and guitar with Dan Griffin & The Regrets;
My new solo project is called Espanola;

I also regularly appear backing up some of Southern Ontario's finest songwriters, on pedal steel and/or guitar. Lately these have included Nick Rose, Matt Paxton & The Mountain, Ben Somer & the Task At Hand, Bill Majoros/The Foreign Films, Matthew De Zoete, and Michelle Titian.

I'm also a founding member of the fairweather collective known as The Surly Young Bucks.

And I guess my plate wouldn't be full enough if I didn't have a couple outlets for some cover tunes, so I also play guitar and sing in a band called The Midnight Shift, a trio which pounds out nothing but the slickest, most scorching rockabilly from the earlier half of Buddy Holly's catalogue; and I play pedal steel in a country band called Stumbleweed, which starts somewhere around George Jones and ends somewhere at Gram Parsons, but also includes some original material as well.

I have performed with, recorded with or sat in with all of these these fine folks:
Arkells (formerly Charlemagne) - guitar, pedal steel
Construction and Destruction - pedal steel
Deromantic - pedal steel
Diesel Dog - pedal steel
Drew Smith - pedal steel
James Heidebrecht - pedal steel
James McKenty & The Spades - guitar, pedal steel
Junior Boys - pedal steel
Mark Weinstock - guitar, pedal steel, vocal
Mike Trebilcock - pedal steel
Shotgun Jimmie - pedal steel
The Steven Elmo Murphy Band - pedal steel
Tiiu Millistver - drums
Tom Wilson - pedal steel
Uvenburd - pedal steel, guitar, bass, drums

Oh, and at one time I wrote, sang and played guitar and steel with The Achievers.

I'm available for sessions and gigs on any of the instruments I play (though I mostly stick to guitar and steel these days). Please contact me at goldstein dot aaron at gmail dot com if you wish to hear additional samples of my work.

I also dabble in Guruism; specifically, I've been known to advise the members of Arkells on everything from the brand of toothpaste they should be using (when they use toothpaste at all) to the regimen by which they should be trimming their toenails - though I should mention that my expertise is not limited to the realm of personal hygiene. I'm also into digital audio editing and production on a nerdly level, and possess an unfathomably abundant knowledge of music trivia.

Thanks for checking out what I'm up to.

Cripes, I'm sorry Aaron. I just put it together who you are. I guess the pedal steel in the photo wasn't enough to connect the dots back to all of three days ago. All I can tell you is I'm being worked into the ground and am not getting the details of everything at all times.

Later!
