Aaron Lee Tasjan

‘Singer, Songwriter, Guitarist, Producer, Band Leader, Activist and Granny Nominee’

Living in New York Aaron helped form his first band, Semi Precious Weapons. It was here that he caught the eye of Drivin' N' Cryin's Kevn Kinney, who later invited Tasjan to tour with him as an opening act and guitar player. He also mentored Tasjan, advising him that a musician never has to be defined by one sound or genre. This principle has helped shape Tasjan's work. 

In 2013 Aaron moved to Nashville to focus on songwriting and a solo career. He has since released 2 EPs, "Crooked River Burning" and "Telling Stories to the Wall. His debut full-length effort, In the Blazes, was released in 2015. This has been followed by Silver Tears in 2016, Karma For Cheap 2018, Tasjan Tasjan in 2021 and most recent Stellar Evolution in 2024

His new record, Stellar Evolution is a record with songwriting beholden to nothing — no expectations, and certainly no genre. Just the pure sense of wonder and discovery that had made him fall in love with music as a kid in Orange County, devouring it all with no understanding or care for what was “cool.”

From synth thrill rides like “Alien Space Queen” and “Horror Of It All,” to the woozy “The Drugs Did Me,” and the balladic “Dylan Shades,” these songs track Tasjan’s sonic shifts, and share personal moments of overcoming challenges and embracing change; for the world, they are universal in appeal and inclusive in intention. Stellar Evolution celebrates love, claims space and shines bright.
