AARON WOLFSON  

American singer, songwriter and guitarist, Aaron Wolfson was born in Los Angeles.  He began playing piano at 4 years old, and guitar at 10 years old.  It was at age ten when he began playing in bands, performing at his 6th grade graduation, events in Junior High, (including a talent contest hosted by country great Glen Campbell), and concerts in high school.  

As a teen Aaron was introduced to famous music arranger Jimmy Haskell, (Ricky Nelson, Steely Dan, Sheryl Crow), who hired Aaron to play guitar on recording sessions for Bobby Hart (Boyce & Hart, the Monkees).  Aaron continued playing on recording sessions for producers such as Michael Masser, (Whitney Houston) and Atlantic Recording artist Stacey Lattisaw.  Aaron also played guitar for Grammy Award winner David Paich (TOTO, Barbara Streisand) recording for Boz Skaggs.  

As a very accomplished guitarist, Aaron has worked with most the very best musicians in the world from the bands of Paul McCartney, Stevie Wonder, and The Eagles (see full list below).

As a recording artist Aaron first had success with his band "Aaron Wolfson & The Chemicals."  His song "Czechoslovakia” was voted as one of best new bands in Southern California by listeners of radio station KROQ 106.7FM (#16 in the Top 20).

Aaron describes his music as guitar based, rock music.  Simple, straight-forward songs about life, love, and relationships. Yet his music goes much deeper, and explores spiritual issues.  "Music reaches people on a very deep level. When you inspire and touch people, it reminds them of who they really are as a beautiful soul.  We all are trying overcome life's challenges, and get to really live life and have fun." 

Aaron was first inspired by the great British rock bands and American blues artists.  "I love any music that is done with real intelligence and passion."  Aaron creates songs that are easy to listen to, that have improvised guitar solos, giving the audience an experience of something real, that is being created in the moment." 

Aaron plays bass and keyboards as well, and is a producer in his own right. (He's got an extensive catalogue of songs and music. He's written country, jazz, blues, and instrumental music.
