Hey buddy sons, I"ve been extremely busy with Mountain Heart lately.  We just finished a weekend of shows in Eastern VA.  I've been on the road for 2 and a half weeks straight touring acoss the states with Mtn Heart, and am ready to get to the house.  We just finished the new MH project which is in the mixing stages now.  Those of you in the Carolina area should come hang with us this week.  We are playing in Morganton, NC with Tony Rice, Greeneville TN, and Banner Elk, NC, July 1st , 2nd, and 4th.  I asked Jordan Laney to marry me.  She said yes!  We have been engaged since the 1st of May.  Anyway alot of things happening.  I'll keep you posted.

Thanks, Aaron

Well I'm headed out the door again.  We had a great time in the Virgin Islands, Brian and Denise took such good care of us.  We swam, ate burgers, and took pictures that I will have up soon!   We have been off for a week resting up.  I had the oppurtunity to be a part of Ron Blocks upcoming guitar instructional DVD this past Monday.   Its was a honor to get to pick with those guys.  Mtn Heart is heading this weekend to Alabama and Mississippi for some fun shows.  Oh, I also have some new "BUDDYSON" stickers if anyone is interested.  I will eventually have them for sale on my website.  Thats about it for now.  Thanks everyone for your continued support of live music.

Later, Aaron

Hey everyone.  Just wanted to say thank you all for the nice birthday comments today!  Your kindness is very much appreciated.  Thanks again, A

Well I haven't posted in a while so I figured I would tell you whats been up.  Mountain Heart has been exceptionally busy for this time of year.  We made a run up to Ann Arbor, Michigan to play the Ark.  We had great time.  The show was sold out.  The audience was very receptive.  We had a ball.  Oh and we once again enjoyed the always delicious Mongolian BBQ.  We really had a good time.  I have had a little time off during the week so I have …

Whats up buddy sons-

The new photo (of me and Jordan)on my home page was taken during a fine art photo booth in downtown Asheville by Castell Photography.  
Mountain Hearts gigs have finally slowed down and I am glad to have some time at home.  I am ready to buy a tree, watch Elf, and work some on my own projects.  It has been a good year.  I am looking forward to 2010.

Hope you have a nice holiday- A

Stonehenge!  That's it!  We visited it on Saturday, September 5th, prior to our first show at the Didmarton Bluegrass Festival.  I didn't have any electrical converters, so my phone went dead and I couldn't use my computer.  The internet service there was not very good either, so I guess it was about as good as it could be.  We had a blast, leaving out on Thursday afternoon out of Charlotte, NC, flying to Cleveland, OH, going out to eat and then flying towards London in the late …

Well, a bit over a month has past since my last post, so here goes. We didn't get the bus fixed in time to use it get to GreyFox or the Grassroots Festival, but a couple of vans did the trick.  It made the weekend a bit harder, but we made it anyway and had a blast at both of those festivals.  We finished up that weekend in Kent, Ohio and then got back home for a day or two. I left out on Tuesday , July 21st, and headed to the MACC (Musicians Against Childhood Cancer) Festival near …

This was a shot from our show last night in Uncasville, CT, at the Mohegan Sun Casino. At the present, we're waiting on a repair to the bus we're in, so we can get on over to Greyfox Festival for our show tonight.  The glorious life of making music for a living! The show in Morganton was fun, even though I scared my folks when I jumped off the stage at the end of the encore.  Friday, July 3rd, was spent relaxing in Georgia, prior to Saturday's show in Athens, Ga, at The Melting Point. …

Where does the time go?  We had a blast doing the gig in Morganton on the 29th of May and it was good seeing local folks and family.  June has been a blur.  Kentucky, Tenneessee, Colorado already under our belts and then, South Carolina this weekend.

Next week we'll be back in Morganton on July 2nd for the 6th annual Red White and Bluegrass Festival and then it''l be off to Athens, Ga for the 4th of July.  Then, there's Michigan, Conneticut, New York (x2), Ohio (x2), and Virginia, that I know of.  A trip to England is happening in Spetember....well...check the schedule.

Today I worked on more of the recording above Asheville, NC.  With touring, the time to spend working in the studio has become scarce.  But I am making progress.

Catch me when you can, again, so I can stay caught up with you.

May 7th, 2009 Merlefest was a blast.  We played twice on Friday and then left that night to play in Villa Rica, GA, on Saturday, the 25th.  I got back up there about midnight on Saturday. On Wednesday, April 29th, I was at Ron Block's house getting him to do a bit of banjo on my recording.  There's lots of banjo players I like, but Ron is my favorite.  It is an absolute honor to get him to play a few tunes for me.  Two of the songs are older Gospel songs of Dad's and he …
