Artists:Aaron English
From WWR

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 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.
Aaron self-released his debut album, All the Waters of this World, in 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. All the Waters was signed for worldwide distribution by Progrock Records/Rykodisc in 2003 and was re-released to wide critical acclaim.
While developing songs for his sophomore release, Aaron, with his rock/world-beat ensemble, The Aaron English Band, toured the festival circuit in US and Canada.
The Marriage of the Sun and the Moon, the second album, was released in February 2007. Featuring many of the same key personnel that performed on All the Waters, Marriage was co-produced by Aaron English and long-time collaborator, Don Gunn.
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)..

Listener Tags & Comments
I've only heard a few songs of his so far, but I've loved every one. If you need to chill, or you're stressed and you need to relax, you can't go past Aaron English's beautifully crafted music. His is the next CD on my list!
