Details:
“We are living in a world in crisis. But within each of us lives the ability to create the world of our dreams. My
music is about the richness, the struggle, and the beauty of living in such a world, as it reveals the dramas and
nuances that create life through intimate musical storytelling.” ~ Aaron Nicholson
ARTIST’S BIO
Aaron Nicholson was born and raised in Helena, Montana where he began playing piano at nine and acting
on the theatrical stage at the age of twelve.
Aaron recently performed an outdoor concert at Union Square Park in New York City staged by Artists
for Human Rights, an organization dedicated to promoting the Universal Declaration of Human Rights,
which was spearheaded by Eleanor Roosevelt. Musically directed and conducted by the world’s top
arranger, David Campbell, and hosted by actress Anne Archer, the concert exposed over 3000 people to
the human rights message.
When he was fifteen, a friend sold Aaron a classical guitar for twenty bucks. Since then, he has studied
with masters, written over eighty songs and performed at venues across the US. And with over ten years
of theatrical training, Aaron has a rich and diverse background in theatre which he seeks to integrate into
all of his performances.
Ed Asner has called him “no cheap date,” David Campbell has called him “amazing,” Lilith Fair competition
winner Deedee O’Malley has said “Aaron’s music stops time,” and one fan wrote, “Aaron, your deep
thoughts have been a godsend as I go through difficult times in my life. In my time of crisis, approached by
winds of disquiet and storms of uncertainty, your music has comforted me like a beacon in darkness.”
Aaron’s 2003 debut EP What’s the World..? showcases Aaron’s classical training and folk music upbringing
(Body Story, What’s the World..?) as well as his modern pop and alternative rock influences (Melissa, The
World’s Not Going to End) to culminate in a powerful soundtrack for the unleashing of a new spirit.
A new record is forthcoming in 2007.
ARTIST’S STATEMENT
I believe that humanity is at a great crossroads. Because of our success at manipulating the natural world
to our benefit with little regard to the consequences, we have come to a point where we are about to
exceed the planet’s ability to sustain us. This is happening in the natural world in terms of worldwide
epidemics, a shrinking ozone layer, increasing extinction, and melting ice caps, as well as in society with the
rise of terrorism, weapons proliferation, increasingly divisive political structures, decreasing satisfaction
with daily life, and a rising disparity in the quality of life.
It is my belief that while our great success as a species has caused many problems, it has also created many
opportunities for us to transcend these problems and create a better world: one that offers abundance to
those who strive for it and assistance to those in need, while maintaining a sustainable and ever more
abundant and exciting future for generations to come. I believe that a positive future relies not on the
success of any particular political party or social group, but on the personal choices of each of us, as well
as the choices that we relay through our governments, corporations and other powerful institutions.
Furthermore, I believe that the unleashing of human creativity across the entire spectrum of society is key
to a choice for a better world and that such a choice is the very nature of evolution. We are living and
choosing our evolution in real time.
It is my mission as an artist to reveal the choices that face us as people living in such a world in crisis and
to give a human face to them by relating my own journey towards evolution through intimate musical
storytelling. My songs are about joy, passion, sadness, despair, sex, politics, evolution, and ultimately the
upliftment of the human species one person at a time. It is my hope that through them, I can contribute to
helping us make the choices that lead to a better future for each of us in such a way that transcends our
individual differences and unites us as people on a journey towards ourselves.
