COLUMBUS MAGAZINE
Guitarist, co-songwriter, sweet bgv's for the one and only Semi Precious Weapons. Home town: New Albany, OH. Lives in Brooklyn, NY. Writes a lot of sad folk songs and a lot of sweaty rave-ups and dance-hall demolitions in the mean while. Has another band called The Madison Square Gardeners. Just made a solo record called, "Hard Love and Free Luck." Thinks John Agnello is really onto something. Knows that Kevn Kinney is the new Jack Kerouac. Wants to put more love out into the world. Wants NAHS Football to win states.
"...HARD LOVE & FREE LUCK HAS ITS OWN SHARE OF FOOT-STOMPERS, PLUS WHISKEYTOWN-STYLE COUNTRY POP AND DYLAN-DOTING FOLK TUNES."-Glasgow Daily Record 2008.
"...his (ALT's) solo record is a wonderful piece of work in the vein of Gram Parsons/Burrito Bros. I know that's saying a lot, but you have to hear it to believe. Great dude, great singing, great burrito!"-John Agnello (Son Volt, Dinosaur Jr., The Hold Steady.) www.johnagnello.com
Hey, I don't often say this but your guys' music is great and it restores my faith in rock and roll...that people do still recognise it's roots. Thanks for shaking my hand, great style dude! Come to the SF Bay Area I will bring an entourage to see you/SPW. You are also the cutest in the band BTW. :)
your solo stuff is really cool!! And of course, I really dig the SPW stuff. I'm really diggin' Fancy. They are from Paris, France, but I would love to see SPW on tour with them.
Aaron. Your songs are so pretty. I'm coming to NYC in a few days so I will see you at Don Hills. This makes me feel very excited. Additionally, my heart is broken cause you are coming to Chicago in July and I will be in a different country. :( But I'm going to tell all of my friends to go see you.
Just opened my myspace and saw, on the side, a picture of Jason Mraz. Underneath it said: "Jason Mraz: He's brought not only his bongos, but his catchy songs. "
