  • Bio

    .. .. .. ......"Aaron Goldstein...... is the greatest living musician and producer to come out of Hamilton, Ontario. His pedal steel guitar can be heard on over 150,000 records and, essentially, everything he touches turns to gold ... He ghost-wrote most of history’s best-known rock and roll hits, and he shits vanilla cupcakes.".... ......"How many bands are you in?"...... People ask me this a lot. There is no correct answer. .... Here's what you need to know:.... ........HURON........ is a Sabbath-heavy Beatle-brained thing of beauty which sees me playing guitar, singing, and sharing the writing with my good friend ..Cam Malcolm..;.... ........ESPANOLA........ is my solo project; a ragged country-rock record in-the-making; the live band which performs the songs from this record; the title track on the record; also a town in Ontario, and the Northern terminus of Highway 6..... ........DAN GRIFFIN & the REGRETS........ is the vehicle for my good friend Dan's songs, a sort of indie-folk-rock band made up of a bunch of jazz trained guys who love the Band and shit; I play pedal steel and guitar;.... ........LEE HARVEY OSMOND........ is my friend Tom Wilson's (Junkhouse, Blackie & The Rodeo Kings) new record and band; the record is a hushed, moody slab of a sort of alt-folk/country and the band takes those songs and turns them up a notch; played steel on the record and playing guitar and steel in the band;.... 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.., ..Matthew De Zoete.., ..Steve Puchalski/Deromantic.. 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.. ..Ben Somer & the Task At Hand.. - pedal steel, guitar.. ..Bill Majoros/The Foreign Films.. - pedal steel, guitar.. ..Construction and Destruction.. - pedal steel.. ..Cowboy Junkies.. - pedal steel.. ..Diesel Dog.. - pedal steel.. ..Drew Smith.. - pedal steel.. ..Ian Blurton.. - pedal steel.. ..James Heidebrecht.. - pedal steel.. ..James McKenty & The Spades.. - guitar, pedal steel.. ..Julie FaderedaF eiluJ.. - pedal steel, drums.. ..Junior Boys.. - pedal steel.. ..Mark Weinstock.. - guitar, pedal steel, vocal.. ..Matt Mays & El Torpedo.. - pedal steel.. ..Matt Paxton & The Mountain.. - pedal steel, guitar.. ..Mike Trebilcock.. - pedal steel.. ..Shotgun Jimmie.. - pedal steel.. ..Sonia Sennik.. - 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....... If yer figurin that you'd be wantin me to play on yer record or in yer show, gimme a how-do at goldstein dot aaron at gmail dot com; I've got lots more stuff you can hear too, if you like. ....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. ...."I passionately hate the idea of being 'with it', I think an artist has always to be out of step with his time." ..Orson Welles.... ....Queen Bee/Fire on the Water.. - on steel and guitar with Lee Harvey Osmond.. November 13, 2008 at the Dakota Tavern, Toronto.. .. .. .. .. .. .. ...... ..1000 Leagues Into Your Mind.. - on steel with the Spades.. March 1, 2008 at the Horseshoe Tavern, Toronto.... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ....Thanks to Jason Craig for filming the above video....... ..Oh, The Boss Is Coming.. - singing and playing guitar with Arkells.. October 13, 2007 at the Pepper Jack Cafe, Hamilton.. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ....Thanks to Matt Thompson for taking and posting the above video...

    By the way Jr turned out, I have a feeling if Rob Ford Sr were alive he'd be taking off his belt to deliver a lickin right about now.

"How many bands are you in?" People ask me this a lot. There is no correct answer.

As Myspace has become a shadow of its former self, I have neglected to update this page with anything I've done over the past, say, three or so years. And they've been busy ones.

These days I mostly fill my time playing pedal steel on the road with City and Colour and also with my pal Daniel Romano playing in his band The Trilliums. I also play with my pals in Huron when I can, and along with our pal Ian Blurton we form the psychedelic group Happy Endings. We've been slowly making a record for quite some time and occasionally gig around Ontario when our schedules align.

I politely invite you to visit me on Twitter, on Facebook or to e-mail me at aarongoldsteinmusic at gmail dot com.

Thanks for checking out what I'm up to.
