In The Running Towards Becoming

About Me

Aaron Booth is a Canadian indie-pop singer/songwriter based in Calgary. He has released four albums. His debut, Transparent, quietly climbed its way up radio charts and onto critic's top ten lists in 2002, leading to a move to Toronto, national tours and a deal with Endearing Records, who released Our Last Escape in 2004 and IPX4 in 2005.

Since then Aaron's music has taken him to Europe, Japan, USA and back to Canada to work with musicians from Arcade Fire, The Weakerthans and Wooden Stars. Extracurricular activities include playing bass for Toronto band Lake Holiday; Pigeonbooth, a collaboration with Calgary's Woodpigeon; and recently covering Hello Mary Lou for a Ricky Nelson tribute released by US label, Planting Seeds Records.

Aaron's latest album, Back Stories, will be released on March 29th.

“Booth returns with his finest, most balanced record yet. Born quickly, the songs of Back Stories came in a flood--as songs often do to those who've held them back. Ranging from the pop-motorik of "Voice in the Night" to the plucked melancholic romanticism of "Nightingales," Back Stories, recorded between Sundae Sound studio and the artist's own house, is a true beauty worth taking to heart and doubtless evidence of Booth's place as the city's finest singer-songwriter.” (Calgary Herald, Feb 2008)
