Biography

Aaron Richners new release, a self-titled EP, proves that the young guitar player, singer, and songwriter has grown to exceed expectations. Three years ago, before Aaron took a break from playing live, Jimi Hendrix Magazine said, Richner is the best young fret board talent in the Northwest. Period. Taken live, youll see why its easy to forget everything except the subtle yet perfect band of a string and the concept that the best musicians are born, not made. On this recording, deep blues is infused with gospel, funk, and R&B to form an electrifying and soul-stirring sound. With the gospel inspired funk of Im on My Way, to the amped-up, Delta-blues of Riverside, Richner has delivered songs with pop sensibility that are speaking to a multi-generational audience. Torrid blues guitar interacts with restrained melodies. Husky vocals ride over surging music that comes from somewhere profound. Over the past 3 years Aaron has grown from a young guitar slinger into a mature and lucid songwriter and performer. His band wont go unnoticed. Dan Powers, former member of Aaron Richner and the Blues Drivers, plays tight bass that sinks into the pocket. His backing vocals complement Aarons perfectly. Abe Kellmer adds soul-stirring organ and keys to the sound, and Ryan Eagon lays down a bone-shaking beat. Although recording is a strong suit for Aaron and the band, its their live shows that have audiences jaws dropping. Richner has been found to be a proven headliner and never fails to impress.
