Zach Aaron
“Aaron’s western-dipped folk music matches song-to-song his blissfully evocative lyrics. He pulls humanity into himself, adding in pinches of his own story for needed flavor, and simply asks you to take a closer look.”
It’s beyond cliché to call someone an “old soul,” but Zach Aaron might just embody the phrase like no other. Hailing from Cleveland, Texas, this singer-songwriter blends timeless authenticity with a rugged edge. With an elegantly tarnished tenor voice, intricate fingerpicked guitar melodies, and lyrics that dance between raw honesty and poetic abstraction, Zach Aaron crafts music that feels both grounded in tradition and strikingly original.
​
Zach’s story is as colorful as his music. He’s lived, performed, taken on odd jobs, served years in the U.S. Air Force, and currently is a horseshoe farrier and rides the rodeo circuit as a professional saddle bronc rider. These experiences have shaped not just the man, but the storyteller. Through the years, Zach has channeled his life’s trials, triumphs, and wanderlust into a growing body of work, releasing four albums, the latest being This Lovely War in May 2023.
​
Falling under the broad Americana banner, Zach’s music is a masterful blend of influences that fans of Townes Van Zandt, Adam Carroll, Doc Watson, and the Turnpike Troubadours’ Evan Felker will appreciate. His songs resonate with an authenticity that transcends time, weaving tales of heartache, grit, and the beauty found in life’s quieter moments.
​
Whether on stage or in the studio, Zach delivers with a soul-stirring presence that lingers long after the last note fades. With each song, he invites listeners to take a journey—a journey rooted in his own lived experiences yet universally relatable.
