Aaron Beaumont

Bio

Aaron Beaumont completed degrees in Economics, Spanish, and Literature before concluding that, at least for the moment, what the world really needed was neither: A) a well-read bilingual economist, nor B) an economically savvy Spanish novelist, but rather C) yet another singer-songwriter. His lush, melodic piano music, however, is anything but typical singer-songwriter fare. This is thanks largely to Aaron’s rich and eclectic musical upbringing, which ranged from performing piano concertos with an orchestra to playing trumpet in a jazz quartet to touring the U.S. and Europe as the bassist in a rock band. And that was just the first 20 years. Based on the results of his recent stint as a songwriter, the next 20 look just as promising.

Aaron released his freshman project, “Nothing’s Forever, Not Even Goodbye” with Milan Records on October 21, 2008. A synthesis of early 20th century piano-roll influences and melodic lines reminiscent of the Beatles, along with nods to Tom Waits and Elliott Smith in works like “Julia” and “The Park Bench Song,” this superb 10-track release represents a piano-centered aesthetic that is at once daring and refreshing. Look for it on Amazon and iTunes, and at your local retailer.

Since the release of his album, Aaron has received regular spins on, officially, the best radio program on the best radio station on the planet: 89.9 KCRW’s The Lab with DJ Jason Kramer.
