Aaron English

“…a talented new artist in a class with other stylistically challenging singer-songwriters such as Peter Gabriel, Joseph Arthur and Perry Blake… potent lyricism, eloquence, and beautiful sublime melodies that reach much deeper than simple pop songs...”
- Mark Newman, Progression Magazine


Seattle-based Aaron English is a singer-songwriter, yes. But there is nothing 'singer-songwriter', in the quaint coffeehouse open-mike sense of the term anyway, about his sophisticated, world-beat-influenced sound. These songs are big songs: driven by Aaron's vivid lyrics and deft piano work, but spilling over onto vast canvasses of sound, incorporating arena-rock and jazz-rock stylings, electronics, and traditional musics from around the world into his recordings and live shows.

The Marriage of the Sun and the Moon, the second album, was released in February 2007. Co-produced by Aaron English and long-time collaborator Don Gunn, the album's epic, high-energy sound has prompted comparisons to Peter Gabriel, Sting, and Led Zeppelin.

Aaron's debut album, All the Waters of This World, was released in May 2002. Recorded in his studio in a converted barn in Seattle, the album featured performances by musicians from five continents, supporting a core band of Seattle- and New-York-City-based musicians.

Inbetween album releases, Aaron, with his rock/world-beat ensemble The Aaron English Band, tours the festival circuit in US and Canada.
