Nashville-based singer-songwriter/pianist Aaron English’s soul-searching songs are sophisticated, cinematic…and filled with echoes of his travels through Africa and the Middle East. His eight self-released albums and EPs have drawn comparisons to Peter Gabriel, James Blunt, David Gray, Sting, Robert Plant and Paul Simon.
The feature on “Bones” is just one of English’s notable achievements, which also includes a Top 5 radio hit in Italy, Top 20 radio hit in the U.S., two hits in Pakistan, and being named a Keyboard Magazine “Artist to Watch”. His music has been heard on CBS, NBC, Bravo and TBS, The Daily Show with Trevor Noah, and ads for Google, Chevrolet, Motorola, Patagonia, Kaiser Permanente, Price Waterhouse Cooper and Kraft Foods.
In 2015 Aaron spent two months in East Africa, where he founded the International Youth Music Project, a charity that supports youth music programs at orphanages, refugee camps and HIV/AIDS+ community centers.
In 2023 Aaron travelled to Karachi, Pakistan, where he played concerts and wrote music with Pakistani artists. The trip culminated in the climate change anthem “Sound the Alarm”, Aaron’s collaboration with the U.S. State Department and hip-hop star Ali Gul Pir.
Aaron divides his time between touring in the U.S. and Europe, his charity efforts in Africa, livestream concerts on StageIt.com, and long-distance song and video collaborations with musicians around the world.
Matthew Black is an indie-folk singer-songwriter known for incisive lyrics and singable melodies. The literal son of a preacher man, Matthew left his job as a mild-mannered IT manager in 2022 to make music full-time. His songs are honest, earnest, questioning, and provocative. Humorous to deeply serious. Profane to sacred. Simple, melodic tunes that can transport you and make you believe there might be meaning and kindness in a chaotic world. And you’ll still be humming the chorus days later.
