ABOUT AARON

Aaron Calhoun was born on October 8, 1970 in Memphis, Tennessee. His early years were spent in Tennessee, Kentucky, Alaska and finally Kansas City, where he would spend the majority of his youth. The different environments were difficult to adapt to, but moving afforded him the opportunity to explore a variety of American cities and cultures.

Mostly playing the outsider in his new towns, Aaron took a strong interest in music. It was here that he would find his escape, inspiration, and release. Dreams of playing and writing evaded him until the age of twenty-one, the year he bought his first guitar. He spent endless obsessive hours mastering his instrument, and satisfying his drive to create. A self taught player, he learned to play by listening to his favorite bands. More importantly, he developed his own voice, writing original compositions rich in meaning, and gave birth to his unique and versatile lyrical style.

Today the music continues with the release of Aaron's debut album, Smoke and Ash, and his soon to be released sophomore album. Currently residing in Austin, Texas, he continues to explore music and push himself to be the best player and writer that he can be.
