Aimee Wilson

Singing and writing on the edge of herself lures Aimee Wilson and her listeners into the center of all that is real. Songs often begin as petitions within the heart seeking to find consent inside the music itself. The music unfolds in a process that mimics that of nature: birthed from places of fragility and ascending to bursts of praise. The performers and listeners become extensions of that process. Aimee Wilson was born and raised in Tennessee. For the past four years she has lived and worked in Philadelphia. She learned to play guitar at an early age and music became a shy child’s primary language. The songs she began writing in high school had by the end of college in 2004 become her first album Timbers Fall. Her new album Unto Us The Sun marks Aimee’s continuing development as an artist more confident in her own voice and the mystery at work through her music. Songs have developed over eight years as she ventured forth and found herself met in her music. Her songs pulse with loss, exposure, and exile that purge and refine the purest parts of us. Her music seeks to uncover the glory enfleshed in our deepest need. Trance Drone Folk
