Aaron Howard started performing as a backup violinist for pop/rock bands in Bozeman MT at the age of 13. By the time he was 15 he was performing in coffee shops, bars, and private parties. In 2002 he was in the studio for a month, recording his first EP - a success in Bozeman. Aaron began performing as a singer around the state, and built up a local fan base when his song "If Not Today" got some spins on a pop/rock station in Bozeman. Finally he spent eleven months in the studio, recording “The Things I Can’t Explain” a thirteen song pop/rock album, and Aaron Howard broke through. He’s sold nearly 1000 copies of his album since its release in late May of 2004; he has performed extensively in his region, and he is now preparing for a twenty city tour of the northwest US.
"Most of Howard's audience own his CD, know the words to the songs, and sing along at his shows. Howard has a real talent for songwriting."

"Aaron has a future in the music biz for sure, either as a singer-songwriter in the John Mayer/Gavin DeGraw/Jason Mraz tradition, or as a talented multi-faceted session musician.... but more likely, for both reasons."

"I found something incredibly refreshing in Aaron Howard. His music draws you in, and leaves you wanting to hear more!"
Double K, Program Director KCMM 99.1 The One (Belgrade/Bozeman MT)
"This (Shining) is a hit song. Hands down. I know it! It starts off with a great muted guitar strum and breaks out into just pop/rock heaven! Amazing harmonies. The lead singer had a beautiful controlled voice. The melody is great and the chorus sticks with you. It's got the formula to be a radio hit, but it's not formulaic necessarily. It's original sounding. Very fresh and definitely something I would play over again on my iPod. Reminds me of Barenaked Ladies, with it's own twist and even better vocals. VERY NICE WORK GUYS!"
