Letters to the Dead

Every song is an original, but lyrically Aaron shows his intellectual story telling and sense of life experience that is always at the forefront. The songs are timeless in nature and with the addition of the amazing Rick Sadlier (as keyboardist/piano player) - Ralph Reightinger (as bass player) and Tom Kitchen (drummer) the songs have reached new heights. It is impossible to catagorize his music...As a band they have energy to a live show, and as experienced performers they can involve everyone in this brand of self expression... Aaron proficiently plays his guitar spilling chord after chord of unexpected twists and turns of hook laden melodies. Sadliers piano adds heft, and texture, to a funk influenced underlay by Reightinger... Kitchens drum lines are solid and proficient. And the chemistry and expertise between the unit is obvious.They have MASS appeal. As a singer/songwriter we have seen Aaron play in front of original alternative rock bands and win the crowd over (solo style or as a 2-piece with Sadlier) AND as a 4 piece ...They have entertained tye dyed hippy types, rock clubs, even been received by a country crowd as well...young teens with backpacks and blackened hair, middle aged housewives, alternative shoegazers, shop working common folk, bikers, cross armed musicians...young or old... you name it - they all respect and welcome Letters to the Dead and the universal approach to music. When you listen to a live show, they have that sense of humility mixed with confidence that is needed to be liked. You hear a once broken heart, you hear years of experience, you feel like your part of something genre free and "fresh". You feel something happening that you can take with you.That is why we believe they can be so much more than you see now. They have “something for everyone” and that is a rarity nowadays. Sit back and listen to the music here or the live show and you to will be glad you opened your ears to something that can be all yours.AND JUST IN: We are 100% completed with the recording of our 1st FULL length ALBUM..."SOMEDAY" - 11 songs ..DUE TO BUDGET CONCERNS WE ARE PRESSING A LIMITED NUMBER and then going to sell on the major download options...Also we have officially added to the band as of DEC 2009 - NEW piano/organist Scott Kuhn and bobby Makynen on guitars...have taken the live sound and the NEW songs to new levels...the new set of unheard orginals will be unveiled in early 2010 and recording is set for early spring for the NEW CD...stay tuned...LETTERS TO THE DEAD - will be an industry name in 2010.
