“Hailing from America’s heartland, singer/songsmith Aaron Lee Martin has an indomitable passion for music. Whether he’s onstage playing for packed house or in a tour-van sharing new material with a couple adoring fans, he exhibits the same raw emotionalism and devotion to his craft. Freighted with country/folk arrangements and heartrending balladry, Aaron’s music builds on-not belabors-familiar American themes. With matchless vocals and poignant lyrics, he delivers love & loss, life & death, in equal doses, while sidestepping sentimentality-and managing to have fun in the process (Kansans are a rowdy bunch!). Though he’s toured extensively (playing festivals, barrooms, and coffee shops across the country), Aaron rarely turns down an opportunity to play-not because he’s desperate, but because he desperately loves what he does. Already he’s got two full-lengths and a Christmas album under his belt, but whether you’re a longtime fan or a new convert, you can rest assured-the best is yet to come!”
