About Me

The Aaron Daniels Band is a young and dynamic 6 piece country rock outfit out of Melbourne, Victoria. Their unique blend of country, rock and blues coupled with great original song writing style, has seen them make a quick rise to prominence nationally. Tamworth 2005 saw the band take out the 'Aristocrat Entertainer of the Year' award and runner-up in the 'Tamworth Battle of the Country Bands'. The boys followed up these successes at Tamworth 2006, with nomination for 'Best Country Band' in the TIARA awards for their original song 'Time Waits for No One'. The Aaron Daniels Band also won the inaugural 'Coca-Cola Battle of the Bands 2006' and for the second year running, the 'Aristocrat Entertainer of the Year' award. 2007 saw tADb take out the inaugural Tooheys Battle of the bands at the famous Longyard Hotel in Tamworth.Originally from Tyler Texas in the USA, Aaron Daniels started the band with rhythm guitarist Dave Watson in 2004. Since then the band has gone from strength to strength with growing support across Australia as a result of hard touring. Having supported artists such as Steve Gibson, Tanya Kernaghan, Normie Rowe, Jake Nicholai Tanya Kernaghan, Troy Cassar-Daly, The McClymonts, Taxiride (to name a few), the Aaron Daniels Band are a country band with a difference, guaranteed to blow you away with strong 6 part harmonies and country rock played hard and loud!
