About this item

Aaron Thomas has been writing and performing songs now for ten years. Born in Tasmania, he moved to Sydney at age nine with his mother, his twin brother and his older sister to live with his step father, Lonnie Lee. Lonnie was a musician and had numerous number one hits in Australia during the late 50s to the mid 60s. He taught Aaron to play the guitar and introduced him to a world of singing and performance. After high school he took the strange step of moving suddenly to the Ukraine to spend a year eating too much and trying to learn how to box whilst attending visual arts college (he was an inspiring illustrator). He fell in love with the culture, the people and especially the dark old melodies that could be heard in the small villages outside of Kiev. He returned there again some time later as he continued to travel, ending up in Los Angeles where he lived for a while and performed solo shows in some of the singer songwriter venues around Santa Monica. Now living in Madrid, Aaron has finally channelled these experiences and released his debut album entitled "Follow The Elephants", a collection of raw and honest material that speaks of the harshness that comes with being a stranger far from home, of the ups and downs of life in general and the frustration of big cities.
