Aaron Howard

About Me


"Aaron has a future in the music biz for sure, either as a singer-songwriter in the John Mayer/Gavin DeGraw/Jason Mraz tradition, or as a talented multi-faceted session musician.... but more likely, for both reasons."
-- Cameron Smith, Concert Promoter, Indianapolis, IN
.
...whether it's the light-hearted song longing for summer, a rock driving song, a club groove, a sad song, a love song, a song that makes you want to lie in the sun and do nothing, or something that helps you bear the unforgiving heaviness of life and love through a hard time, the reason for any song is that it evokes real (sometimes rare) emotion. It’s a transient reminder that more of us than we would ever believe, actually know what the rest of us are going through; that we are, in fact, all in this together. And every now and then, when I’m listening to a really great song, I hear the magic… the sweetness of music and lyrics coming together to bring an authentic emotion to life that neither could hope to bring to life alone. That’s why I do this.

"I found something incredibly refreshing in Aaron Howard. His music draws you in, and leaves you wanting to hear more!"
-- Double K, Program Director KCMM 99.1 The One (Belgrade/Bozeman MT)
"...The melody is great and the chorus sticks with you. It's got the formula to be a radio hit, but it's not formulaic necessarily. It's original sounding. Very fresh and definitely something I would play over again on my iPod. "
-- Review of Shining from GarageBand.com
"Most of Howard's audience own his CD, know the words to the songs, and sing along at his shows... Howard has a real talent for songwriting."
-- MSU Exponent, Bozeman, MT
