Aaron English July 25, 2008

Seattle-based piano man Aaron English is a singer-songwriter. But there is nothing 'singer-songwriter', in the quaint coffeehouse open-mike sense of the term anyway, about his sophisticated, world-beat-influenced pop-rock. Aaron's songs are big songs -- driven by his 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 his live shows.
