about
Aaron Beaumont completed degrees in Economics, Spanish, and Literature before concluding that, at least for the moment, what the world really needed was neither: A) a well-read bilingual economist, nor B) an economically savvy Spanish novelist, but rather C) yet another singer-songwriter. His lush, melodic piano music, however, is anything but typical singer-songwriter fare. This is thanks largely to Aaron's rich and eclectic musical upbringing, which ranged from performing piano concertos with an orchestra to playing trumpet in a jazz quartet to touring the U.S. and Europe as the bassist in a rock band. And that was just the first 20 years. Based on the results of his recent stint as a songwriter, the next 20 look just as promising. Aaron will be releasing his freshman project, "Nothing's Forever, Not Even Goodbye" with Milan Records on October 21, 2008. A synthesis of early 20th century piano-roll influences and melodic lines reminiscent of the Beatles, along with nods to Tom Waits and Elliott Smith in works like "Julia" and "The Park Bench Song," this superb 10-track release represents a piano-centered aesthetic that is at once daring and refreshing. Look for it on Amazon and iTunes, and at your local retailer. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
