"Amazingly warm and nostalgic tracks." - Kinkyorigami.com, August 2006
"For those fans of Billy Bragg or Voxtrot or Sufjan there should be a new addition to your musical vocabulary and that is Aaron Schroeder."
-The Blue Walrus, September 2006
"Aaron's lyrics are smart, his music is winning, and his talent is all too apparent. The songs seem designed for a dive bar jukebox."

BIO
Beginning in Los Angeles, spending time in Portland Oregon, following cheap rent to Boston, to finding love in Eastern Washington, 20-something Aaron Schroeder has called Kennewick his home for the past year. It is there he released his debut record Southern Heart In Western Skin, an album soaked in traditional instrumentation (lap-steel guitars, cellos, accordions, violins, stand-up bass, harmonica) that keeps pop sensibility as a solid foundation.
"I listen to a lot of classic artists like Bob Dylan, Leadbelly, Johnny Cash, Billy Bragg, but I also enjoy lots of modern acts like Belle & Sebastian, The Mountain Goats, Silver Jews." Not only is Aaron a true fan of music but he is also an avid reader, citing authors such as Fydor Dostoevsky, Henry Miller, Haruki Murakami, Knut Hamsun as influences. "Often time my lyrics are adaptations of things I've read, including various Yiddish, Arabic, and American folk tales."
He is currently working on his second record, titled Black & Gold. In addition to the regular group of players who bring out guitars, clarinets, tubas, violins, french horns, organs, Moogs, musical saws, harpsichords and harmonicas, the album will feature guest spots from Ben Barnett from Kind Of Like Spitting (Barsuk Records, Hush Records), Jeremy Castillo from the Los Angeles based rock band Mighty Six Ninety, local angelic pop-sters The Seaworthies and Tyle Blake from the DJ-remix duo Young Americans.

"We all admire the spangled acrobat with classical grace meticulously walking his tight rope in the talcum light; but how much rarer art there is in the sagging rope expert wearing scarecrow clothes and impersonating a grotesque drunk! I should know." (Vladimir Nabokov) Thank you for your friendship! Musical greetings from Munich/Germany!
