Quotes:

Prolific, soulful, and compelling, Aaron English has integrated the far corners of the world into his music, and the deepest parts of the human psyche into poetry. The remarkable combination is not to be missed – whether it’s on a big stage or the back porch. Go. – Fran Snyder, ConcertsInYourHome.com

Seattle’s Aaron English is one of the most talented piano men I have ever encountered and one of America’s finest songwriters…English may prove to be the most relevant songwriter of the year. His work on the timeless american (fever) dream is pure contemplative genius – Ryan Spaulding, rslblog.com

I’m listening to Aaron English’s “God Bless You and Your Man” for the umpteenth consecutive time and it sounds really good to me…I think if he were on a major label this is the kind of song that would get top priority. I can’t wait to hear more of his stuff! – Jim Nelson, A Taste of Triple A

…perhaps the single best line I have heard on an album this year… “…but you play hard to forget…” …The lyric, from “Sleight of Heart” is simple, beautiful and launches a grand melody for the chorus with English’ vocals perfectly counterbalanced by Leah Siegel and Scott Adams… This is all I could ever want from music. – Windhawk, NBT Independent Music

…a talented new artist in a class with other stylistically challenging singer-songwriters such as Peter Gabriel, Joseph Arthur, and Perry Blake…potent lyricism, eloquence, and beautiful sublime melodies that reach much deeper than simple pop songs… – Mark Newman, Progression Magazine
