Aaron Seibert Genre - Acoustic Rock
Freelance reviewer, Nina Esile, comments, "Whether he's playing a cover or sharing one of his own
hopped-up funky or sometimes soulfully placid originals, Aaron gives you himself through the music.
I know. You've heard this somewhere else about someone else. But when you hear him rhythmically
pound out Stevie Wonder's "Superstition", you won't mistake him for someone trying to sound like little
Stevie. Aaron is Aaron, unmistakably. The only way to describe it is to say he lights up when he starts to
play, and with his infectious smile and childish stage antics, it's hard not to feel some of that illumination.

Stewart was utterly amazing. A rare talent."
