Spring is in the Air

Hello Friends,

This year I have decided to be more pro-active when it comes to playing shows and recording music. If you haven’t noticed I’m trying to play out at least once a month, be it in Dear Leader or Solo.

Last month Boston bands Faces on Film and Mister Sister took it upon themselves to record a song every day for 28 days straight. (I was very envious)

I know I can’t record something every day, but I have decided to at least start recording songs once a week in hopes of sharing covers, and new ideas I have over the course of the year.

Feel free to email me song suggestions for future posts.

Best,

Aaron

New Solo Show

Thanks to all those peeps who came to see us open for Cheap Trick last night. Surreal evening for sure hanging backstage with grumpy Joey Kramer, Gary Cherone, the long haired guy from the Eagles, and Joe Perry. Our dressing room was the Electrical Storage closet and depot for soda. Regardless, playing a sold out HOB show and watching Cheap Trick rip through their catalog of timeless hits was really a fun night out. Having Robin Zander complement me was definitely icing on the cake.

Well after that excitement I will try to keep the rush of playing for large crowds with a special Tuesday night performance at the Alchemist Lounge in Jamaica Plain on February 16th. It’s a free affair and I usually play what ever people tell me to.

Next Dear Leader shows are in March with a 2 night stand at Great Scott.
